Primer for First Timers

The information provided below is intended for educational purposes. It should not be considered a substitute for a professional eye examination.

Presbyopia makes it difficult for people over age 40 to see clearly to read or do close work. It occurs as the lens in the eye begins to lose some of the elasticity needed to focus on near objects. Presbyopia is not a disease and is simply a normal part of the aging process.

Symptoms

The need to hold reading materials further away to focus
Headaches or tired eyes after close-up work
Blurred vision at normal reading distance
Require more light to see clearly
