Doctor’s Note: Astigmatism is most often treated with prescription eyewear or contact lenses—both of which can be found in McDonald Optical’s trusted eyeglasses store.

What Is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is when your eyes gradually lose their ability to focus on nearby objects.  This condition can be brought on by poor health, but more often than not, it’s really more of a natural—albeit annoying—part of aging.  It usually begins around one’s mid-40s and continues to worsen until about age 65.

Presbyopia Causes

Presbyopia occurs when the lens of your eye, which the cornea uses to focus the light it receives from objects, begins to harden.  The resulting inflexibility makes it more difficult for the lens to focus on close-up images, which means they appear out of focus.

Presbyopia Symptoms

  • Blurred vision at normal distances.

  • Eyestrain and/or headaches after doing activities such as reading or any work that requires a close-up distance.

  • Holding objects or materials farther away to make them clearer or more distinct.

Presbyopia Treatments

  • There is no cure for presbyopia, but there are palliative treatments such as:

    • Reading glasses.

    • Bifocals.

    • Progressive lenses.

    • Contact lenses, including multifocals.

    • KAMRA Inlay.

      • An FDA-approved implant that a doctor will surgically place in one eye.

 
If you need an eye exam from trusted professionals for presbyopia, schedule an exam today with one of McDonald Optical’s premier Iowa City eye doctors.
