Presbyopia Awareness Month 👁️
Ever find yourself holding your phone a little farther away to read a text? You’re not alone!
Presbyopia is a natural part of aging that typically starts around age 40. It happens when the eye’s lens becomes less flexible, making it harder to focus on close-up objects—like reading a menu, text messages, or labels.
Common signs of presbyopia:
• Blurry vision up close
• Needing brighter light to read
• Eye strain or headaches after reading
• Holding things farther away to see clearly
The good news? Presbyopia is very manageable with options like:
👓 Reading glasses
👓 Progressive lenses
