Chances are high if you are in your 40's or
beyond; you have begun to notice the effects of Presbyopia. It might seem as if your arms aren't long enough to read that menu.
And, now you have an ever-growing collection of reading glasses.
Presbyopia happens to everyone as they age. It is the normal loss of the eye's ability to focus as it ages and symptoms typically begin around your forties or fifties.
Presbyopia may be especially bothersome for people with excellent distance vision who've never needed glasses before. If this sounds familiar, you may be interested in a product under development that may have the potential to change your need for glasses or contacts in order to see at close and intermediate distances: the PresbyLens®.
