Close work problems

Signs and symptoms
An age-related condition that first starts to become noticeable at around 45 years old. Customers complain of problems associated with close work (reading small print etc) especially in poor light. Some patients who have not worn spectacles before, may be concerned that it is a serious problem.

Cause
Changes in the eye make it increasingly difficult to bring close focus onto the retina, causing the image to focus behind it.

Remedy
There are several ways to correct presbyopia all based around a more positive lens. Single vision, bifocal or varifocal lenses can all correct presbyopia. Each has their own merits and drawbacks.
