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.

Very pleased. Appointment was on time, with no waiting. Very clean and organized. Knowledgeable a... nd friendly optometrists and staff. My eyes have a difficult time finding a lens that works best, and they always work with me, letting me try different lenses until I am comfortable with the prescription. I really appreciate them giving me their recommended contact lens solution to try. I've been going here for several years and am very happy with the service.

I’m new to Ducklo eye care and only started going here since my last general eye exam. I had to go... this week for an eye infection. Both times the doctors and staff were very, thorough, kind and instructive in a way that understood my diagnoses. The eye glass frames offered are a very good selection, too.

I am a singer/songwriter from NC. I am in town to perform and forgot my contacts. I called Ducklo ... Eye Care. I was greeted on the phone by a wonderful woman who took the time to see if they had my prescription in stock, even though I am not their patient. Not only did they have it, they gave me trial lenses so I didn't have to purchase them. I plan on moving here to Nashville next year, and I don't care how far the drive will be, I will become a patient of this eye center! I cannot thank ya'll enough!!!
