Understanding Presbyopia

Presbyopia is an eye condition that begins at the age of forty or more, when people experience blurred near vision when working at the computer, sewing or reading.

In any case, you cannot escape presbyopia, even if you are someone who has never faced any vision problem. People who are nearsighted will experience that their near vision blurs when they wear contact lenses or eyeglasses to rectify distance vision.

Presbyopia is commonly found in the United States of America affecting more than 130 million of Americans aged forty and above in the year 2008, according to the data issued by the U.S. Census Bureau . The median age reached 36.2 in the year 2008, up 1.6 years since 2000. This increasing number of older citizens increases the demand for eye wear surgery and contact lenses that can help presbyopia patients to deal with their vision problems.
