Presbyopia is a vision condition in which your eye's lenses lose their flexibility. This makes it difficult for you to change focus between near, far and in-between objects.

If you feel as though you may be experiencing symptoms associated with presbyopia, take a moment to answer the following questions:

• Do you tend to move things further away to help you focus or read - like a menu?
• Have you experienced difficulty performing certain close-up tasks, such as reading fine print in the newspaper or threading a needle?
• Is reading not as enjoyable as it once was because you become sleepy, get headaches, or have trouble focusing?
• Do you have difficulty reading in dim light?
• Have you noticed that any of the above signs seem to get worse as the day progresses?

If the answer is “Yes” to any of these questions, you could be suffering from a condition called Presbyopia. Presbyopia affects just about everyone sooner or later, but most often occurs in your forties. It is when your near vision begins to blur. Progressive lenses are for people with presbyopia.
