When a person reaches their 40’s, a condition called presbyopia can set in. Presbyopia is the inability to focus on objects near the eye. One usually notices that it is harder to read or use the computer. Progressive lenses, Multifocal contact lenses or reading glasses are a way to remedy this condition.

Presbyopia is a perfectly natural process. There is no cure though researchers are constantly looking for one. Even if a person has never had vision problems before he or she can still develop presbyopia. While symptoms can present suddenly, presbyopia usually occurs over a long period of time. Symptoms include having to hold things at arm’s length to see them clearly, eye strain, fatigue and headaches from near work.

Progressive Lenses (No-Line Bifocals) – For many presbyopes bifocal lenses are a necessity. But it can be difficult to adjust to the harsh line that is found in bifocal lenses. Fortunately, there are progressive lenses. Progressive lenses don’t have a line, just a gradual change in focusing power which allows you to comfortably focus on any distance. Distant objects are viewed through the top portion of the lenses, and near objects are viewed through the bottom portion of the lenses.

Computer Glasses – To reduce eye strain and fatigue we carry specialized computer lenses. These lenses are perfect for computer users who spend a majority of their day working on a computer. Since three out of four computer users will suffer from Computer Vision Syndrome, computer lenses are a great way to relieve symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome.

Monovision Correction (Contact Lenses) – For some of our presybopes we offer another option to glasses, monovision. This is a method of fitting one eye for distance vision and the other eye for near vision. Contacts are available in disposable, extended wear, and even daily disposable lenses to fit your lifestyle. Most patients require 2-4 weeks to make the adjustment from binocular vision to monovision.

Reading Glasses – One of the first areas of your life where presbyopia becomes prominent is in your ability to read. There are a variety of styles available, with sleek designs that allow you to carry them anywhere.
