Even if you’ve had perfect vision your entire life, as you get older you will probably need some type of vision correction due to a condition called presbyopia.
Presbyopia happens to almost everyone after the age of 40. Just like the muscles in the rest of your body, the muscles in your eyes lose some flexibility as you age. With presbyopia, the lens inside your eye loses flexibility, making it difficult to focus up close.
THE EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF PRESBYOPIA
Do you ...
• Find yourself struggling to read menus in dimly lit restaurants
• Have difficulty seeing your computer screen
• Experience problems seeing your cell phone or remote control buttons
• Hold printed materials further and further away from your body to read them
VARILUX AND PRESBYOPIA
More eye care professionals prescribe Varilux progressive lenses for presbyopia than any other progressive lens. Progressive lenses are designed to correct your distance, intermediate and near vision while wearing only one pair of glasses. Varilux progressive lenses are the closest you can get to natural vision. You can feel absolutely safe trusting something as precious as your vision to the corrections available in a Varilux lens because, after all, Varilux invented the progressive lens and continues to design the most technologically advanced lenses based on eye physiology.
Dr. Dave Ziegler, a certified optometrist for over 20 years, has treated thousands of people with presbyopia. In addition, he has served as the team optometrist for the Saturn Cycling Team, Milwaukee Wave Professional Indoor Soccer Team, Milwaukee Brewers, Marquette University Basketball Team and the NBA Milwaukee Bucks.
