Blurred Near Vision
A gradual age-related loss of the eye’s ability to focus on near objects. It usually develops over the age of forty. Almost everyone starts to notice increased difficulty in reading small print because of the onset of presbyopia. With age, the eye's lens becomes less elastic and the power of ‘accommodation’ is reduced. Light rays from near objects can no longer be focused on the retina, with resultant blurring.Side-Effects
- The need to hold newspapers and books at arms length to read them.
- Increased difficulty in focusing on near objects in poor light.
- If you are shortsighted (myopic), the need to take off your glasses to see near objects clearly.
Outcome
Presbyopia tends to worsen with age and the lens prescription will need to be updated every few years. The condition eventually stabilises around the age of sixty. By this time, very little focusing power is achievable by the eye's lens. This is when glasses take over from our lenses to perform the focusing work.Managing Presbyopia
Presbyopia is corrected by wearing glasses with convex lenses. These lenses converge light rays from near objects to a focus on the retina. Below is a range of our ready-made full rim reading glasses that overcome difficulty with close vision work. The strength of the convex lenses starts at +1.0 dioptre and goes up to +3.50 dioptre.
