How to avoid reading glasses: Rejuvenate your eyes with lens replacement surgery in Brisbane

Since you hit your 40s, do you find yourself needing to use reading glasses more and more? Reading glasses take you out of the moment. You have to adjust them on and off to see the right distances, which completely spoils any sense of spontaneity. Then of course, you lose them or break them. This common phenomenon is known as presbyopia. Take it from us: it can take years to get used to reading glasses. That’s why we’ve put together this article on how to avoid reading glasses.

What is presbyopia?

Presbyopia is the condition of ageing eyes. It’s when the internal ‘lens’ of your eye ages over time and becomes harder and less flexible. This means that you’ll have trouble panning (being able to see specific distances). You’ll know if you have it, say if you have to hold reading material further away from yourself to see it.

If this is left untreated, it can develop into cataracts. This is a severe condition that can devastatingly reduce your ability to see clearly, function independently and can lead to a total loss of vision.

When people get presbyopia, they start wearing reading glasses to combat their declining vision. But as mentioned earlier, they come with a multitude of problems. Not only are they fragile and awkward, but they’re expensive to replace and your prescriptions will inevitably keep on changing over time.
