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 - Heights Blvd, this common vision condition can be effectively managed, so you won’t have to compromise on your quality of life.

Dr. Yee was pleasant, thorough, and staff did not press you to purchase your eye wear from them as i... n the past with Dr. Rivera. Additionally, they have now gone paperless and that made the appointment less time consuming than in the past. I will be returning for all my eye care needs.

This is my second time going to Dr. Rivera. She's like a grandma as a doctor and excellent at her c... raft. Prior to her I had two Dr.'s get my prescriptions way wrong. She perfected it as she did the first time. The receptionist is a bit too opinionated though.

If your grandmother was an expert optometrist she would be Dr. Rivera. Dr. Rivera is a wonderful opt... ometrist, bur she also cares about every patient. She will spend extra time with each patient, both personally and professionally.

All the staff is very friendly and they care about giving you the best care. Dr. Aurea is from Puert... o Rico and the front desk girl, too. The 4 of us were speaking in Spanish and telling stories. We laughed all the time while they helped me choose my glasses for the first time. I didn't want to look weird and they helped me choose a pair of blue glasses that I love them I love them you go to that place and you feel like you went to visit some friends I liked the experience and I thought why hadn't I been before

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.
