DR. A.F. Downum
OPTOMETRIST
CAN PRESBYOPIA BE PREVENTED?
Presbyopia, the gradual loss of focusing ability, is a normal process of
aging. By the time people reach the age of 45, it’s common for them
to need glasses for reading.
Although presbyopia appears to come on suddenly, the loss of
focusing skills necessary to read is a gradual process. It only
becomes noticeable, however, when it reaches a critical stage.
What are the signs? Blurred vision or eye strain at normal reading
distances. You may begin to hold reading materials further and further
away from your eyes. Sometimes after a period of close work, you
may have a headache or feel exhausted.
Although presbyopia cannot be prevented, glasses can compensate
for the loss of focusing ability. Depending on your lifestyle, or other
visual conditions, reading glasses or bifocals (or progressive lenses)
will be prescribed. Presbyopia does not affect the general health of
your eyes.
