WHAT IS PRESBYOPIA AND WHEN SHOULD YOU WEAR GLASSES?
Are you over 40, and perhaps you've noticed that when you read a newspaper, a book, a menu, or your phone, you have some difficulty distinguishing letters and different characters clearly? This is due to the onset of a vision disorder: specifically presbyopia!
To be sure, it's very simple! The most obvious examination method is simply to read something very close up. For example, take a medication leaflet to understand if you have presbyopia or another visual problem. In the case of presbyopia, to see the symbols clearly, you will need to hold the text away from your eyes with your arms. This is how you will understand the meaning and typical symptoms of presbyopia. To remedy this, the most immediate solution is to use a pair of presbyopia glasses or reading glasses. Reading glasses or magnifiers should be used precisely when it is necessary to correctly visualize writing and small print.
But what are the causes of this problem?
Over the years, the crystalline lens (a small lens-shaped organ located inside the eye behind the cornea) loses its typical elasticity, becoming more rigid. This phenomenon prevents the eye from focusing letters properly, and close-up focusing gradually becomes impossible. This evolves, and even "worsens" for some until the age of 60-65.
IS THERE A REMEDY?
As you can imagine, there is no miracle cure or exercises that can prevent the onset of this visual impairment. The main treatment for presbyopia is the use of a pair of close-up glasses for presbyopia to provide maximum comfort when reading a magazine or a book. So, much like in the case of myopia or astigmatism, it will be essential to invest in reading glasses to avoid straining your eyes. For those looking for a permanent solution, laser surgery can be an option. However, the cost of eliminating presbyopia with laser surgery is not very cheap, as it generally ranges from €2000-3000 per eye.
