Eye info Presbyopia |
 |
Presbyopia
is progressive farsightedness that develops as we grow older.
It is a condition that occurs as the eye's lens grows older
and begins to lose some of the elasticity needed to switch
focus between viewing near and far objects. The age at which
presbyopia is first noticed varies, but it usually begins
to interfere with near vision in the early forty's.
What a presbyopic person sees |
Symptoms of Presbyopia :
- Need
to hold reading material further and further away to be
able to focus.
- Vision
is blurred at the normal reading distance; especially in
poor light.
- Headaches
and/or eye fatigue after or during concentrated close work.
Treatment
Presbyopia is treated by wearing the prescribed eyeglasses
or contact lenses that allow the eye to refract light rays
effectively. |
