Protection from the Sun
One of the unwanted birthday presents we get, somewhere in the early forties, is blurred near vision. For some of us, taking our glasses off solves the problem, for others taking our glasses off makes it worse. Whatever your scenario, do not fear! You are not suffering from some disease nor are your eyes falling apart; you have simply entered a phase of vision called ‘Presbyopia.’ From the day we are born, the lenses in our eyes that control our focusing ability slowly start to harden. This leads to a decrease in our ability to focus on things up close. As we turn 40ish, the lens hardens up just enough that one morning we realize our newspaper is a little blurry but holding it out farther helps. Eventually all of our arms become ‘too short.’ This is a natural phenomenon and happens to everyone. There is no cure for this, but come in and we can show you how presbyopia is overcome, either with glasses or contacts. You shouldn’t have to worry or concentrate on where you are holding something in order to see clearly. We can help!
