Presbyopia (Old people’s sight)
Presbyopia is a refractive error associated with aging of the eye that results in progressively losing ability to focus clearly on near objects.
Symptoms
- It usually starts around the age of 40, there will be difficulties to focus on near objects, such as mobiles and books.
- Headache and eye train associated to reading books and viewing digital devices.
- For some severe cases, it may cause stiff neck and neck pain
Cause
Presbyopia is due to hardening of the lens inside the eye, causing the light to focus behind the retina instead of on the retina when looking at close objects.
Management of Presbyopia:
Spectacles
- Single vision reading glasses: only for near vision (close reading)
- Bi-focal glasses: for distant and near vision
- Progressive (multi-focal) glasses: helps in vision for distant, intermediate and near vision
