(<a href=”http://www.newsusa.com”>NewsUSA</a>) – Staying active is key to a quality lifestyle — whether it’s taking in a sporting event, frolicking at a resort, or just catching up with friends over lunch. But there’s no denying you lose a lot of that “quality” if you can’t see clearly.
If you’re like many people over the age of 40 who find themselves struggling to focus on close objects or small print — including everything from smart phones to restaurant menus — you may be developing a vision issue known as presbyopia.
Presbyopia is the gradual loss of the eye’s ability to actively focus on close objects. It occurs with the natural course of aging — generally around the age of 40 — and requires some form of vision correction.
Common symptoms include:
* The need to hold reading material at arm’s length
* Blurred vision at a normal reading distance
* Headaches or fatigue from doing close work
