Contact Lenses for Presbyopia

It’s funny how some people develop short-sightedness when they were young and when they reach middle age, their degree starts to fall. Eventually some began to develop another eye condition called presbyopia.

In greek, presby means old man and ops means sight. So presbyopia is an eye condition that affect mostly people over the ages of 40 where you can’t seem to close-up very clearly. You will often find yourself having to distant yourself away from the screen or the newspaper in order to attain a clearer vision.

It’s the reverse of myopia where you can see close-up objects clearly but not objects placed far away. I’m highly myopic like my other fellow Singaporeans who enjoys gluing their eyeballs to the screen. It will be quite some time before I hit 40 and experience presbyopia. Since I am a contact lens wearer, I wonder if I would have to resort wearing those traditional-looking gold-tinted roundish glasses designed for old people. If you are over 40 and still keeping up with the trends, you might be punching in the air with delight right now because yes, there’s finally such a multifocal contact lenses that help corrects presbyopia.
