Presbyopia eye care treatment

If reading the fine print on labels and books is becoming a challenge, you may have presbyopia. Presbyopia is a common condition that causes the gradual loss of ability to focus up close. It often begins after age 40 and grows worse until about age 65, when the progression seems to level off.

Presbyopia symptoms

Your doctor will recommend options to help you see clearly again. These may include:

• Reading glasses (including bifocals and trifocals) or contact lenses
• Laser (refractive) surgery to change the shape of your cornea, including CK (conductive keratoplasty), LASIK (laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis), LASEK (laser epithelial keratomileusis) and PRK (photorefractive keratectomy)
• Surgery that replaces your lens with an artificial lens implant
