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 Hill Country Vision Center - Floresville, this common vision condition can be effectively managed, so you won’t have to compromise on your quality of life.

Presbyopia Treatment Options

  • Eyeglasses

    • Prescription reading glasses
    • Bifocals: for distance and near vision correction
    • Progressive multifocals: see objects at a near, intermediate or far distance
  • Contact lenses

    • Bifocal contact lenses: different sections for reading and distance prescriptions
    • Monovision contact lenses: distance prescription in one eye and reading prescription in the other eye
  • Laser surgery

    Changes the shape of the cornea to correct vision. Some examples include:

    • LASIK
    • LASEK
    • Photorefractive keratectomy
  • Lens implant

    An eye surgeon removes your natural lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens. This new lens is flexible and can restore your ability to focus on near objects.

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.

I had such a great experience. From start to finish the staff was kind, attentive, and answered all ... of my questions. I’d love to give a special shoutout to Madeline who was an absolute gem. It was my first time getting glasses ever and I was nervous to pick them out as I’m the most indecisive person in the world!! She was patient, kept my budget in mind, walked me through the entire process to make sure I understood and so sweet!! I walked out of there happy with my pick and felt like I made a new friend in the process. Ask for her if you go! She deserves a raise 🙂

Needed to find a vision center closer to home since we moved 45 minutes away from our current doctor... . This came up on the search with our provider and was recommended. Made my appointment and received reminders. Staff are pleasant and efficient. Appointment was quick and easy which is great for people who have a busy schedule. I think I found my place!

I brought my two children in for an eye appointment last week and I can not say enough about how won... derful these ladies are. My son is 8, has ASD and can be uncooperative in unfamiliar situations. But these ladies from the front desk, the doctor and everyone in between were SO kind and patient. His appointment took a good chunk of time but no one ever made us feel uncomfortable about it. The doctor was so patient and talked through everything she was doing. They were absolutely so kind and patient, I can not give enough praise. And the best part, he got a prescription that he'll actually be able to use!! Thank you guys again, you are truly phenomenal.
