Glaucoma Presbyopia
(Farsightedness) Myopia (Nearsightedness) Myokymia Penqueculum Stye Astigmatism Presbyopia, or farsightedness, is a normal decline in close-range focusing ability of our eyes as we age. This seems to occur suddenly, but actually it does not. Our eyes have maximum focusing ability in our early teens; however by the time we reach our seventies, our eyes have lost all variable focusing ability.
A person with good distance vision will typically notice the beginnings of close-rage difficulty in their late thirties or early forties. All healthy eyes will change NATURALLY AND PREDICTABLY with the passage of time.
The cause of presbyopia is not a weakening of the eye muscles but rather a loss of elasticity of the focusing lens inside the eye. Eyeglasses, bifocals, trifocals and contact lenses are all available to remedy this condition. Wearing proper prescription eye wear WILL NOT WEAKEN OR CHANGE YOUR FUTURE VISUAL STATUS in any way.
The effects of presbyopia constantly change. As a result, periodic updates and changes in your prescription are necessary to maintain correct visual function.
