Is it me, or is the print getting smaller?

 

For many, middle age is when a lot of things come into focus, except that is, newspapers, magazines, and computer screens.

 

 

Usually beginning in their 40's, people experience blurred vision at near points, such as when reading, sewing, or working at the computer.  There's no getting around it, this happens to everyone at some point in their life.  Even if they never had a vision problem before.

 

 

Signs of Presbyopia
When people develop presbyopia, they feel they need to hold books, newspapers, menus, and other reading materials at arm's length in order to focus properly.  When they perform near work, they may have headaches or eyestrain, or feel fatigued.

What Causes Presbyopia
Presbyopia is caused by an age related process in which there is a slow loss in the flexibility within the lens inside your eye.  These age-related changes occur within the protiens of the lens, making the lens harder and less elastic with the years.  Age-related changes also take place in the muscle fibers surrounding the lens.

Presbyopia Treatment
Reading glasses are a very common correction for presbyopia and can be custom made for each individual through an optical dispenser, or they can be purchased "ready-made" from a store like Readerwear.  Ready-made readers are less expensive than custom eyewear, allowing you to own several pairs for a small amount of money.  Pre-made reading glasses also allow you to stash extra pairs in different rooms of the house, as well as in the car, the boat, the office, and so on.

   

What is happening within your eyes

The eye's lens hardens with age, resulting in blurred near vision.

This is a natural process of aging and happens to eveyone at some point in their life.  Presbyopia in Latin actually means "elder eyes".

 

Are you a candidate for ready-made reading glasses?

When choosing ready-made reading glasss, ensure that the corrections for each eye are pretty close, without a great deal of astigmatism.  The eye doctor is the best judge of whether you need custom eyewear rather than ready-made reading glasses.
