Presbyopia
Presbyopia is the technical name for reading problems associated with age. As we get older and pass the 40 + age bracket reading and close-work become more difficult. People in this age group often find that they have to hold things further away to see them clearly, or if they are short-sighted, they may need to remove their glasses to see up close.
Presbyopia can be corrected by an optical prescription specifically designed for close work. This can be provided in many forms, including reading glasses, bifocals, trifocals and progressive lenses also called varifocals.
If you are experiencing visual problems for near tasks, then you may benefit from reading glasses. A visit to your optometrist will put your mind at rest.
