Presbyopia

Do you find yourself having to hold things further away to see them clearly? You likely have what’s called “presbyopia.” Presbyopia typically starts after the age of forty. It results in blurry near vision due to the natural lens’ inability to change shape, which is necessary to change focus from far to near distances. In today’s world, work and home settings are more visually demanding, and sometimes it is difficult for patients to obtain clear distance, intermediate and near vision with their glasses.¹

Soft and specialty contact lenses can offer presbyopic correction, so patients with presbyopia are able to have clear vision at all distances with their contact lenses — without needing reading glasses! There are a few different methods of contact lens correction for presbyopia. Ask your specialty contact lens provider which method they think is best for you.
