What is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is an age-related vision condition that causes near objects to appear blurry. It typically starts in a person’s 40’s, when the lens of the eye begins to stiffen and lose flexibility. This makes it difficult to focus on nearby objects.

Presbyopia can significantly impact your quality of life. Regular daily activities like reading books, instruction manuals and food labels, scrolling through your phone, threading a needle and other close-up tasks can become daunting.

The good news is, with the help of Memorial Eye Center - Westchase, this common vision condition can be effectively managed, so you won’t have to compromise on your quality of life.

The doctors use the newest technology to examine my eyes and helped me choose frames. The only sugge... stion I have is to explain to customers that the frameless glasses, while they are extremely flatteringl, they are fragile, so take extra care.I hope the mfg will come up with a stronger solution bc i cn be clumsy at times. thnk you.

Love my new glasses and sunglasses!! Received awesome service from the team and Dr. Holbrook (she's ... the absolute best in the business in my opinion). I would definitely recommend the doc, staff and location to everyone.

Great staff and the Doctor is excellent, I went there thru Zocdoc for a general eye exam, not to get... new lens prescription, the staff assumed I was there for lens prescription, I had to remind the Doctor assistant once inside that I was there for some non lens related things, they were able to adjust and I was quite amazed with how much time the Doctor spent with me patiently listening and advising, while quite a distance from where I live, I’ll go back and recommend to my family and friends.

Great experience. Prescription adjustment feels much better and closer to what it probably should’... ve been previously. The doctor wasn’t pushy with upselling that I’ve encountered in the the past. Thank you!

Presbyopia Diagnosis Treatment FAQs

What is presbyopia treatment?

Presbyopia treatment corrects age-related farsightedness to enable you to see close-up objects, such as books and electronic screens more clearly. Treatments include:

  • Eyeglasses
  • Contact lenses
  • Laser surgery
  • Lens implants
Can presbyopia be cured?

Currently, there is no cure. The good news is that our optometrists can recommend a variety of treatment options to help you see your best, from near to far.

How do I know if I have presbyopia?

If you’re over 40 and struggle with any of the following, you may have presbyopia.

  • Holding a book or a screen at arm’s length to see it more clearly
  • Needing larger print or font size to read
  • Blurry vision while reading
  • Difficulty reading in dim light
  • Eye strain and headaches when focusing on near objects

If you have one or more of these signs, schedule an eye exam and ask us about glasses, contact lenses, or other presbyopia treatment options.

Are bifocals right for me?

If it’s hard for you to read and to see things at a distance, bifocals may be your perfect solution. With bifocals, you can get two prescriptions in one. One corrects farsightedness and the other corrects nearsightedness. We offer several different types of bifocal lenses to suit your personal preference.
