If you’re aged over 40 and are starting to have difficulty with reading, then you are probably suffering from presbyopia. This condition is caused by the natural aging process of your eyes, which affects their ability to focus easily on close objects. The result isblurred vision or tired eyes, especially when reading in poor light.
Presbyopia affects nearly everyone by their mid 40’s, but fortunately there are effective solutions for this condition. For example, if you have not needed vision correction before, you may now just require reading glasses for close up work.
But if you already wear spectacles, then you have several choices. You may decide to have different glasses for distance and reading, although this can be inconvenient. Or you may choose a pair that performs both functions, such as bifocals or varifocals(progressive) spectacles. Varifocals cost a bit more, but are increasingly popular because they enable you to focus at all distances and they don’t have any obvious dividing line across the lens like bifocals.
Presbyopia may not be a problem even if you wear contact lenses. There are now progressive contact lenses available for presbyopia, while some people find they can see well with a distance vision contact lens in one eye and a reading lens in their other eye. Others successfully use reading glasses over their contact lenses for close up.
The best option will depend on your optical prescription and lifestyle. Your optician will discuss these with you when advising on the most suitable lenses for presbyopia.
