What is presbyopia?

Presbyopia is a natural condition that affects near vision, often observed after the age of 40. This disorder occurs when the lens of the eye loses its flexibility, making it difficult to focus on nearby objects.

What are the symptoms of presbyopia?

• Blurred vision when reading or doing close-up activities.

• Need to move objects further away to see them better.

• Eye strain after prolonged use (reading, screens).

• Headaches related to visual strain.

These signs appear gradually and can impact your daily quality of life.

Why do we develop presbyopia?

With age, the lens loses its flexibility and elasticity. This process is normal and affects everyone, regardless of their visual health history.

Risk factors

Certain conditions or habits can accentuate the effects of presbyopia:

• Age: Presbyopia usually begins around the age of 40.

• Lifestyle: Excessive use of screens and prolonged exposure to blue light.

There are several options for correcting presbyopia and regaining clear vision:

- Reading glasses: Ideal for close-up activities such as reading or writing.

- Progressive lenses: An all-in-one solution for near and far vision.

-Multifocal contact lenses: Practical and discreet, they correct vision at different distances.
