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.

Inviting environment and appreciate the financial transparency in the exam portion. Only thing I wou... ld ask is that I received a more thorough walk through of my final invoice for glasses and also to go over my benefit amounts before starting to pick eyewear. Overall a great experience and would come again for the fast experience .

They do a great job with both kids and adults. My 11 year old enjoyed his visit. Staff was able to t... ell me our insurance benefits upfront and integrate that information into selecting frames and lenses that would not cost an arm and a leg.

During his exam he was asked if he wanted to do tale an image of his eye, my son is scared of going ... to the Doctors and declined, however during his eye exam with Dr To, she remembered that he likes Pokémon and brought him a Pokémon card. Her soft and gentle voice earned my son's trust and she asked if he wanted to try to take the image and my son agreed on his own. He said she is nice, this is the first time he has ever made the decision on his own and I appreciate Dr. To for her great service and staff.

I used to go to the Wilcrest location but I am so glad I have accidentally scheduled an appointment ... here. The selection of frames is better, and I very much enjoyed interacting with every member of the staff. Dr. Amelia Holbrook was very friendly and efficient, and took less time than most doctors to pick the perfect lenses for me and update my prescription. Special thanks to Richard Le for helping me pick new frames and navigating my insurance options.

Very professional, very friendly, great service.

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.

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.
