How do I know if I have presbyopia?

How do I know if I have presbyopia? One of the most common eye conditions is presbyopia, or the difficulty people have in focusing on objects at close range. It is very common to see fifty-somethings who need to move the newspaper or restaurant menu away from their faces in order to read them. Some come to recognize with humor “that their arms are no longer enough to be able to focus on what they want to read.”
One of the causes of this condition is age. The majority of presbyopia patients have reached 45 years of age. Specialists affirm that it appears due to the hardening of the lens of the eye, due to aging. In addition, some antidepressant and antihistamine drugs can influence the premature appearance of presbyopia.
Other symptoms that denote the condition of presbyopia are visual fatigue, eyestrain, migraine headaches, and difficulty reading. Diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or multiple sclerosis can enhance this condition.
To find out if you have presbyopia and to rule out other eye diseases, you need an eye exam that includes a refractive evaluation.
Presbyopia can be treated with the use of prescription glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. In the case of eyeglasses or prescription glasses, it is good to insist that they must be graduated according to the visual axis of the patient. Using pharmacy glasses does not help the treatment.
As for surgery, a lens can be implanted inside the eye or correct the curvature of the cornea with a laser.
It is good that you know that some vision insurances cover ophthalmological exams, partially or totally cover the price of prescription glasses and a percentage of surgical operations.
