Ridding Yourself of Your Reading Glasses

Presbyopia (the development of farsightedness) is an inevitable sign of aging. It arises in everyone over the age of 40 and is unfortunately unavoidable. Presbyopia occurs when the natural lens inside the eye loses its elasticity.

Reading glasses are the result of presbyopia and something everyone will eventually require, even if they’ve had LASIK. Monovision LASIK (where the dominant eye is corrected for distance and the non-dominant eye for near) is a good option but not everyone can tolerate this “blended” type of vision.

There have been amazing advances in Ophthalmology in recent years for the treatment of presbyopia. Click on the link below to read an article in which Dr.Benjamin discusses these latest presbyopia treatment options:
