Presbyopia

I am over forty and cannot see close up anymore

Presbyopia is a normal and expected process of one's natural lens aging process. The lens of the eye becomes less flexible with age and can no longer increase its focus on demand. As a result, one has difficulty seeing objects at near. To compensate for the loss of near vision individuals usually find that holding reading material further away or using reading glasses makes the image clearer. Monovision laser vision correction, multifocal lenses, and implant lenses are some of the advanced ways to enhance vision with less and perhaps no need for contact lenses or bifocals.
