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 Family Eye Care Services, this common vision condition can be effectively managed, so you won’t have to compromise on your quality of life.

I want for people to know about my experience here. I made and appointment there because they had a ... no wait ( not 2 weeks like others) They were prompt when I went in there and nothing but smiles from employees. Less than a week I received my glasses. They were professional ( Mercedes)and very pleasant experience.

As an Advocate for a disabled teen, I went into the office just before closing with a pair of broken... glasses. Today was the first day of school and the teen I was helping started her first day at a new high school without being able to see. The Special Ed Team Leader asked me to help her get her glasses fixed. I said I would try my best. I found out that the teen has an appointment in a few weeks to get new glasses. I walked in with a pair of broken glasses and in 10 minutes walked out with perfect glasses! This teen will be so happy when we pick her up for school tomorrow with new glasses! A compassionate office and a staff member that saw a great need and filled it. Very professional in my book! Tomorrow they are getting homemade chocolate chip cookies! Thank you Family Eye Care!

Few weeks ago I called and I had the worst customer service ever, the lady that answered my call was... so rude. So I gave it another shot called back and spoke to Beliza which was so pleasant over the phone. Mercedes helped help me out ordering the frames that I wanted. If it wasn’t for Beliza and Mercedes I would’ve took my money elsewhere.

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.
