Presbyopia (pronounced prez-by-o-pee-a)?

The gradual loss of your eyes' ability to focus easily on nearby objects.

Presbyopia occurs gradually and is usually noticed in the mid 40s (but can begin earlier).

Because the lens of the eye continues to change with age, a stronger reading glass prescription is needed about every two years until the mid-50s or 60s.

Some conditions such as diabetes can result in an earlier onset of presbyopia. Presbyopia can easily be corrected with reading glasses. Presbyopia is not a disease. It is simply a normal part of the aging process.

What are the general symptoms of presbyopia?

- Blurred vision when reading or doing close work

• An inability to read fine print such as in the newspaper or phone book. This is worse with fatigue.
• To see small print, people with presbyopia must hold reading material farther from their eyes.
• Nearsighted people may need to take off their distance glasses to read.
• Other close work, such as threading a needle, may be difficult.

- Eyestrain from reading or sitting in front of the computer for long periods of time

- Headaches from doing close-up work
