Presbyopia in San Antonio, TX

The majority of people control their presbyopia with corrective eyeglasses with certain types of lenses. Of these special lenses, bifocal and progressive lenses are the most frequently chosen. Progressive lenses act just like multifocal lenses but look exactly like general lenses, as they don't have obvious lines. Progressive lenses can correct vision at multiple distances. Bifocal lenses most often have a line close to the bottom half that begins the area used for up-close vision. Both of these lenses can also be wise treatments if you have further refractive errors along with presbyopia. Some people with presbyopia like to just use reading glasses (often known as readers) and remove them when they aren't needed for up-close tasks.

Multifocal contacts can also be used to bring back sharp vision, and monovision contacts are a terrific option for patients who have developed both presbyopia and myopia. Plus, there are a few surgical procedures that can potentially be effective in reducing the effects of presbyopia.
