What is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is an age-related vision condition that causes near objects to appear blurry. It typically starts in a person’s 40’s, when the lens of the eye begins to stiffen and lose flexibility. This makes it difficult to focus on nearby objects.

Presbyopia can significantly impact your quality of life. Regular daily activities like reading books, instruction manuals and food labels, scrolling through your phone, threading a needle and other close-up tasks can become daunting.

The good news is, with the help of Ducklo EyeCare, this common vision condition can be effectively managed, so you won’t have to compromise on your quality of life.

Presbyopia Treatment Options

  • Eyeglasses

    • Prescription reading glasses
    • Bifocals: for distance and near vision correction
    • Progressive multifocals: see objects at a near, intermediate or far distance
  • Contact lenses

    • Bifocal contact lenses: different sections for reading and distance prescriptions
    • Monovision contact lenses: distance prescription in one eye and reading prescription in the other eye
  • Laser surgery

    Changes the shape of the cornea to correct vision. Some examples include:

    • LASIK
    • LASEK
    • Photorefractive keratectomy
  • Lens implant

    An eye surgeon removes your natural lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens. This new lens is flexible and can restore your ability to focus on near objects.

Presbyopia Diagnosis Treatment FAQs

What is presbyopia treatment?

Presbyopia treatment corrects age-related farsightedness to enable you to see close-up objects, such as books and electronic screens more clearly. Treatments include:

  • Eyeglasses
  • Contact lenses
  • Laser surgery
  • Lens implants
Can presbyopia be cured?

Currently, there is no cure. The good news is that our optometrists can recommend a variety of treatment options to help you see your best, from near to far.

How do I know if I have presbyopia?

If you’re over 40 and struggle with any of the following, you may have presbyopia.

  • Holding a book or a screen at arm’s length to see it more clearly
  • Needing larger print or font size to read
  • Blurry vision while reading
  • Difficulty reading in dim light
  • Eye strain and headaches when focusing on near objects

If you have one or more of these signs, schedule an eye exam and ask us about glasses, contact lenses, or other presbyopia treatment options.

Are bifocals right for me?

If it’s hard for you to read and to see things at a distance, bifocals may be your perfect solution. With bifocals, you can get two prescriptions in one. One corrects farsightedness and the other corrects nearsightedness. We offer several different types of bifocal lenses to suit your personal preference.

I was looking for an ophthalmologist because I was experiencing some unusual issues with my left eye... . They suggested I come in as soon as possible and were able to fit me in within the hour. Dr. Solomon was extremely knowledgable and explained things clearly. I didn't feel rushed at all and she answered all my questions. I would recommend them because they know what they're doing, they are professional, friendly and kind.

After arriving into town without contacts, I called nearly every place in Nashville looking for assi... stance and Ducklo helped me right away before closing on a Friday. Excellent customer service, highly recommended.

The office staff is really nice, they actually help me pick out my glasses. And my time spent with t... he doctor was quick, but he was precise, listen to any questions I had, and offered feedback. I’ll definitely recommend the office to friends and return in the future.

Ducklo Eye Care was recommended to me by my specialty ophthalmologist. Now I see why. Dr. Solomon is... great,. She's personable, professional, and caring. Whereas most optometrists feel their job is over once they write the prescription, Dr. Solomon spent time with me discussing lenses And frames that would suit my lifestyle. This was so appreciated And lacking in so many past experiences of mine. The Ducklo staff are great. They are all nice and caring. My lenses seemed to be a bit expensive, but I haven't bought them in a few years so I'm probably mistaken. Overall, I'm telling my family to go to Ducklo!

Dr. Lavanya Tammareddi was wonderful! I went in as an emergency visit for a pretty bad corneal abras... ion and she was very helpful and took my injury seriously. Nobody at the office made me feel like a burden even though they were super busy and I’m sure my emergency visit messed with their schedule. Thanks to her above and beyond care, my eye healed up great!
