Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a form of natural aging to the eye that results in farsightedness. Presbyopia usually becomes noticeable in the early to mid-40s and worsens until around age 65. This condition can often be corrected with prescription convex lenses and should be diagnosed by a professional ophthalmological team. People with hyperopia must squint to see nearby objects. Reading, writing, computer work, or drawing for long periods of time may cause eye strain and headache. Farsightedness is rare in children but can be treated if detected early.

It is an important practice to have your vision checked and monitored by a licensed ophthalmological team annually to be screened for hyperopia. Presbyopia is far sighted vision caused by the natural aging process and with lenses it can be conquered. Dr. Herschitz can advise you confidentially of your treatment options if you are struggling with presbyopia.
