There are always rumors that people with myopia won't become presbyopic, but Mr. Li, who has been nearsighted for many years, recently found that he could see his phone more clearly without his glasses on, and with them on, it was blurry. The doctor told Mr. Li that his eyes were becoming presbyopic.
When you notice that you or a family member has difficulty reading small print and close objects, keep an eye out for it - it's probably presbyopia.
The timing of presbyopia varies from person to person
As we age, the crystals in our eyes gradually become harder and lose their elasticity. As a result, the eye's ability to adjust when looking at close objects decreases, making it unable to focus accurately and for extended periods, causing the objects seen to become blurry.
Therefore, presbyopia is a natural aging phenomenon of the human body that no one can escape. Generally speaking, we will have presbyopia around the age of 40 to 45, but this is not absolute, some friends may have encountered this problem at the age of 38.
Nearsighted people may have the illusion that their vision is ‘canceled out’ in the early stages of presbyopia, so they are usually the last group of people to perceive presbyopia, but although it is late, what is coming will always come.
Those who are farsighted are prone to be among the earliest to become presbyopic because they need to use their eye's focusing ability when looking at near and far places, so when they age and their eye's ability to regulate decreases, they are prone to be among the earliest to become presbyopic.
Failure to take presbyopia seriously may also pose a safety hazard
For those who have just started to experience presbyopia, 'manual adjustment of glasses' might be sufficient for a while, but it is by no means a long-term solution. If this continues over the long term, it can easily lead to eye discomfort issues such as tearing, visual fatigue, sore eyes, and other visual strain problems. Moreover, during presbyopia, the eye's ability to adjust and its sensitivity decrease.
Just imagine, if we are driving and cannot clearly switch our gaze between the road and the dashboard, it would be extremely unsafe to encounter this issue.
Therefore, if you find yourself or a friend or family member around you experiencing presbyopia, don't be careless and deal with it as soon as possible.
Do you have to wear reading glasses after getting presbyopia? There are more options than just that.
After the onset of presbyopia, many people might opt to simply buy a pair of reading glasses. However, it's important to note: never try to save money or effort by casually purchasing reading glasses from street stalls, vegetable markets, or large shopping malls.
On one hand, the quality of these glasses is not guaranteed; on the other hand, these places lack professional optometric equipment, and arbitrarily choosing the strength of the reading glasses can easily lead to eye strain symptoms such as soreness, dryness, and fatigue. Moreover, friends around the age of 40 still have certain social needs, and wearing ordinary reading glasses can greatly affect their image.
So, after experiencing presbyopia, is it really necessary to wear reading glasses? Of course not, progressive multifocal lenses are a better solution. As the name suggests, progressive multifocal lenses are glasses with multiple focal points, divided into far, intermediate, and near optical zones to address visual needs at different distances.
Generally speaking, the far optical zone can be used to see distant landscapes and buildings; the near optical zone can be used to see cell phones, books, and other smaller words closer to home; and the middle is the transition area.
In this way, those who may have myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other vision problems before presbyopia will not need to wear two pairs of glasses and switch back and forth between taking off and putting on.
However, progressive multifocal lenses inevitably have two areas of astigmatism on either side of the lens with a large number of irregular prisms, which can lead to blurred and distorted vision. Therefore, the wearing comfort of progressive lenses is very much related to the design of the lenses (mainly the distribution of the field of view in each optical zone).
Green Stone's customized progressive lenses have a golden ratio design that allows for quicker adaptation for first-time wearers.
The fear that they will not be able to adapt to progressive lenses has been a major reason why many consumers are afraid to try them. Our customized progressive lenses are designed with a golden ratio, with a wide and balanced distance, intermediate and near vision zones, and a small astigmatism zone.
Even for first-time wearers, it is easier to adapt. You can more easily see the long-distance scenery, medium-distance TV or close mobile phone screen, say goodbye to the trouble of frequent removal of glasses, and make your state look more youthful.
The lenses are designed and processed point by point on the surface of the lenses using globally advanced free-form surface technology, using design software that is more suitable for Asian face shapes, and customized to be more precise.
Compared with traditional progressive lenses, it ensures the same excellent lens performance for all kinds of lower plus light vision, with consistent clarity, and a real increase in comfort through optimization.
From seeing needs to wearing comfort, from leisure to sports, Green Stone offers solutions at different levels for different groups of people.
