Signs and Symptoms of Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a condition that affects almost everyone after the age of 40, yet many people don’t realise it’s happening until daily tasks become a struggle. Knowing the early signs helps you take control of your eye health and explore treatment options sooner.
What Is Presbyopia?
Presbyopia is the gradual loss of your eye’s ability to focus on nearby objects. It’s a normal part of ageing and differs from nearsightedness or farsightedness—it specifically impacts near vision.
Common Signs and Symptoms
1. Holding Objects at Arm’s Length
You may start needing to hold your phone or book farther away to read clearly.
2. Eye Strain or Headaches
Trying to read in poor light or small print may cause discomfort or pain around the eyes.
3. Blurry Near Vision
Especially in the morning or after long hours at work, near vision can seem foggy or inconsistent.
4. Difficulty Reading Fine Print
Menus, medicine labels, and text messages become harder to read without good lighting or magnification.
5. Frequent Changes in Reading Glasses
You may find yourself switching glasses more often than you used to.
When Does Presbyopia Start?
Most people notice symptoms between the ages of 40 and 45. The condition gradually worsens until around age 60, after which it stabilises.
Quels traitements ?
Traditionally, reading glasses or bifocals have been the solution. But modern options like laser vision correction (e.g., SupraCor) and lens replacement surgery can offer long-term relief.
These treatments reduce or eliminate the need for glasses and offer a more convenient solution.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
If you catch presbyopia early, you can explore all the treatment options and avoid discomfort in your day-to-day life. Your vision impacts everything—from driving to working to socialising—so don’t ignore the signs.
