About Presbyopia
What is presbyopia?
Presbyopia is a natural aging process of the eye that affects the eye's ability to focus on close objects. It occurs when the lens of the eye becomes less flexible over time, making it harder to see things up close.
How is presbyopia different from other vision problems?
Unlike nearsightedness or farsightedness, which are caused by the shape of the eye, presbyopia is due to the aging of the eye's lens. It is a common condition that affects nearly everyone as they get older.
What are the symptoms of presbyopia?
Symptoms of presbyopia include difficulty reading small print, eye strain when doing close-up work, needing to hold objects at arm's length to see them clearly, and headaches or fatigue from doing close work.
How is presbyopia diagnosed?
An eye doctor can diagnose presbyopia through a comprehensive eye exam, which may include a visual acuity test, a refraction test, and an examination of the eye's structures.
How is presbyopia treated?
Presbyopia can be corrected with reading glasses, bifocals, progressive lenses, or contact lenses designed for near vision. In some cases, refractive surgery such as LASIK may be an option.
Solomon Eye Physicians & Surgeons Reviews
EDIT 6/11/2026: I ended up speaking with Rebecca, making an appointment to see Dr. Solomon on Friday, June 5 at 10 AM. I didn't get taken back until 10:38, but then the service was really excellent. The tech was great, she was warm, comforting and answered my questions. Dr. Solomon was also incredibly kind, patient, and thorough. He even tried to get me help with other doctors in other fields. It turns out my optic nerve is just fine and my kerotoconus is well managed. This experience made up for the call center communication. I'll be going back for my check up in 6 months. Just minus one for the really long wait.-------------------Got referred here for a thinning optic nerve and keracotonus. The person on the phone couldn't even pronounce my eye issue "kokokonous? kokonus? coconos?" I was then informed, despite the massive dedication on their website to my specific eye disease, that they could not help with keracotonus or my optic nerve, could only do an eye exam and would refer me "out to retina" - I had to ask to speak to a manager to find out what that meant. I wish they would train staff before they release them onto the public because this makes the actual professionals at the practice lose credibility.
Dr. Solomon and his team talks you through everything from the beginning to the end. Even when you have your follow ups. I find he does have humor as well as being there to help you as you are very much nervous. I can see clearly now the clouds are gone. (smiles)
Me encanta ! Si lo recomiendo!
Wonderful experience!
Good customer service from the front desk and good care from the specialist and doctors.
