Presbyopia is a consequence of the natural ageing process, when the focusing lens inside the eye doesn’t adapt as quickly, easily or effectively as it used to. Is normally noticed once you are in your early 40’s.

It causes difficulty with close work; leading to blurry vision, eye strain, headaches, and the need to move detailed objects further away to make them easier to see.

There are many ways to help the symptoms of presbyopia, ranging from simple reading glasses to anti-fatigue lenses, office lenses, progressives (multifocals) or bifocals.

The best thing to do is to speak to your optometrist about your visual needs to get the best solution for you.
