Presbyopia

Alternate Names : Loss of Accommodation of the Lens of the Eye

What are the treatments for the condition?

Glasses, either reading glasses or bifocals, are the usual treatment for presbyopia. Today many people choose multifocal lenses, which work well. Since more than one lens prescription is usually needed for clear vision, contact lenses do not generally work for this condition. Bifocal contacts work well for some people.

How is the condition monitored?

Presbyopia is monitored with regular eye examinations. Any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to the healthcare provider.
