What is presbyopia?
Presbyopia is the gradual deterioration of our eyes' ability to focus on nearby objects clearly. This loss is largely linked to aging and is considered a completely natural process.
According to experts, presbyopia begins to manifest itself between the ages of forty and forty-five . Likewise, around the age of sixty-five this phenomenon tends to become even more evident.
Presbyopia is linked to the following symptoms:
- Difficulty focusing on objects within a close field of vision
- Eyestrain after normal reading periods
- Need to relocate reading materials away from the eyes to better focus on the letters
- Regular headaches
Presbyopia is a refractive error caused by hardening of the lens of the eye . Over time, this part of our eyes becomes less flexible, which interferes with the focusing of light on the retina.
Although they are often confused, presbyopia, myopia and hyperopia are separate and completely different eye conditions.
How do you know if you have presbyopia?
Presbyopia is relatively easy to identify and diagnose, so much so that there is a common misconception that it can be self-diagnosed. While the symptoms associated with presbyopia are easy to identify, they could be caused by a variety of conditions.
To avoid a misdiagnosis and rule out other possible eye diseases, it is best to see a specialist .
Both the optometrist and the ophthalmologist will be able to assertively determine the existence of presbyopia. To do this, a complete eye exam is carried out, which seeks to confirm or rule out other possible conditions. This exam does not take much time, is not invasive or painful .

What measures can be taken to solve presbyopia?
At an early stage, coping with presbyopia is a little easier. It may be enough to hold reading material a little further away, increase the font size on digital documents, or read in better light. However, it is best to start using glasses .
Sooner or later, every person with presbyopia will eventually need the help of a pair of glasses or contact lenses. In other words, presbyopia and glasses go hand in hand. Some people choose to buy glasses with generic lenses, but having a custom prescription will help you see more clearly .
