Most people think loss of near vision or presbyopia is a small inconvenience. The data suggests otherwise.
In a survey of 1,000 adults aged 40 to 80, loss of near vision ranked highest for impact on quality of life compared with hearing loss, arthritis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and dry eyes. Clear near vision shapes how we work, read, and live day to day.
If you’re finding close work difficult, there are medical options tailored to your needs. Book a consultation to discuss your options.
