Presbyopia - #6890

What you’re experiencing sounds like presbyopia, which is a common condition that typically affects people as they get older. It occurs when the lens inside the eye loses its flexibility, making it harder to focus on objects up close. This is a natural part of aging, and while it’s unavoidable, there’s no way to prevent it entirely. However, certain lifestyle choices, like maintaining good eye health, can help manage it. Many people use reading glasses to help with close-up vision, and yes, you may eventually need bifocals if the problem progresses. However, there are also contact lenses designed for presbyopia, such as multifocal lenses. Surgery, like LASIK, can sometimes help, but it’s not always the best solution for everyone. If you're struggling with close-up vision, I recommend visiting an eye care professional who can assess your vision and suggest the best option for your specific needs. They can guide you through choosing glasses, contacts, or other treatments.
