VISION PROBLEMS

PRESBYOPIA

• Presbyopia is the gradual loss of the eye’s ability to focus on
close-up objects

• It happens because the eye’s natural lens becomes less
flexible

• Presbyopia typically becomes noticeable in your 40s

• Symptoms include blurry near vision, eye strain or fatigue
from close up work and headaches

• Treatment includes either glasses, bifocals, contact lenses,
refractive surgery and lens implants.

VISION PROBLEMS

ASTIGMATISM
In astigmatism, light isn't evenly distributed onto your retina
Images can appear blurry or stretched, however, not everyone
with astigmatism has distorted vision.
Astigmatism is often present and is frequently hereditary.
In some cases it can be triggered by trauma to the eye.
It can also occur alongside nearsightedness and farsightedness.
Most cases are treatable with glasses or contact lenses and
for some corrective surgery is an option.

VISION PROBLEMS

FARSIGHTEDNESS

• Farsightedness is also called hyperopia, you can see distant objects
clearly, but close objects get blurry.
It happens when the eye doesn’t bend light properly causing it to
focus behind the retina instead of on it.

• This can be caused by a shorter-than-normal eyeball or a less curved
cornea. Exact reasons are still being researched.

• Corrective lenses are the most common treatment and surgical options
may be available for adults.

VISION PROBLEMS

NEARSIGHTEDNESS

- Nearsightedness is also called myopia, you can see nearby objects
clearly, but faraway objects get blurry.

- It happens when the eye's shape causes light to focus in front
of the retina instead of directly on it, leading to blurred distance vision.

- Causes can include genetics, excessive close-up work, and environmental
factors. Exact reasons are still being researched.

- Treatments include glasses, contact lenses, or corrective surgery to
improve vision.
