Do You Have to Wear Reading Glasses When You Are Old?

People grow older unconsciously. Although we may not feel that we are getting older, some phenomena will prove that we are getting older. For example, we can not see the things near us, but can see the things in the distance, or adjust the font size of mobile phones and computers. These phenomena are all expressions of presbyopia. In general, the elderly are more likely to suffer from presbyopia. If you have presbyopia, you need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive eye examination and wear bifocal reading glasses. If you don't wear magnetic reading glasses, you may lose your vision more quickly.

What is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is a kind of physiological phenomenon, not a pathological state and ametropia. It is an inevitable visual problem after people enter the middle and old age. It's one of the signs that the body is beginning to age. With the increase of age, the lens of eyeball gradually hardens and thickens, and the accommodation ability of eye muscles also decreases, which leads to the decrease of zoom ability. Therefore, when looking at a close object, because the image projected on the retina cannot be fully focused, the object at close range will become blurred. The occurrence and development of presbyopia is directly related to age, mostly after the age of 45. The occurrence and severity of presbyopia are also related to other factors, such as original ametropia, height, reading habits, lighting and general health status. Even if you pay attention to protect your eyes, the degree of presbyopia will increase with age, generally according to the rate of deepening 50 degrees every five years.

Symptoms of Presbyopia

Patients will not be able to see near objects, but can see distant objects, which is the main symptom of presbyopia. Patients can improve the symptoms by wearing designer reading glasses. Best reading glasses can refract the light through the lens, so that the patients can see the near objects.

Patients may feel uncomfortable when read at night. Because the light is dark at night, insufficient illumination not only increases the visual resolution threshold, but also dilates the pupil. Because the pupil dilation forms a large dispersion circle on the retina, the symptoms of presbyopia are more obvious.

Because the crystalline lens becomes hard, it can't focus well. As a result, if the patient looks at nearby objects for a long time, the eyes will be uncomfortable. In order to alleviate this symptom, it is necessary to wear computer reading glasses. When light passes through the lens of progressive reading glasses, it will be refracted, which reduces the pressure on the crystalline lens. Before wearing folding reading glasses, you need to go to a professional hospital to check your eyes.

Although the symptoms of presbyopia are not obvious, the elderly can find it through regular physical examination. If the elderly's eyes appear presbyopia symptoms, they must wear funky reading glasses in time. Although the decline of vision can't be prevented with the increase of age, the elderly can alleviate the blurred vision by wearing blue light reading glasses. Although stylish reading glasses can't treat presbyopia, it can make the elderly live better in their old age.
