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
Very professional and knowledgeable
I have been wearing glasses since I was 5yrs old and with lazy eye and wearing a patch over the stronger eye for 1 or. To me my cataract surgery is a miracle. Things are not so yellowish or overcast. I can see colors as they truly are for the first time. THANK YOU Dr. Solomon and you're entire group. I was treated so kindly and my concerns have ALL been addressed.
Very courteos reception and empathetic Nurse Practitioner skills made my follow-up visit memorable.
They are so thorough with their exams an knowledgable. I highly recommend them.
Performed complicated artificial iris surgery that only 2 docs in DC/Balt area do (no one at Hopkins does it). Great job!
