No Reading Glasses - Near Vision CK - Patient's Zone

People often confuse farsightedness with this condition, which occurs as the normal result of aging. Presbyopia affects most people by the age of 40 and everyone by the age of 51. This is because the aging process diminishes our natural ability to bring near objects into focus. This condition manifests when the lens inside the eye loses its flexibility, preventing accurate focus on objects in the near field of view, such as reading material.

Presbyopia can affect people who are myopic, emmetropic (no refractive error) and hyperopic. The latter combination is especially problematic because hyperopes often lose both distance and near vision at the same time after 40 years of going without glasses or contacts.

Symptoms and options With presbyopia, you may experience eye fatigue when reading in poor light or at the end of the day, trouble changing focus from distance to near or the need to constantly reposition reading material to find the right focus. This condition is traditionally corrected with reading glasses, bifocals or contact lenses.
