How to Delay Presbyopia?

We can often see that some elderly people need to use bifocal reading glasses or progressive reading glasses to see things clearly. They are suffering from presbyopia. The essence of presbyopia is the adjustment ability of the eyes, when age is the most important factor affecting the adjustment ability. It is actually a normal physiological phenomenon, not a disease, it will occur to everyone. So what will happen when we have presbyopia? Is there any way we can protect our eyes?

What are the symptoms of presbyopia?

1. Have difficulty in seeing near object. Middle-aged and elderly people will gradually find that they cannot read small fonts at their usual working distances and need to use half reading glasses, multi focus glasses or custom reading glasses. They tend to tilt their heads back unconsciously, or take books and newspapers farther to see the words clearly, and the required reading distance increases with age.

2. The near vision cannot be sustained. Because the accommodative power of the eyes of middle-aged and elderly people is diminishing, over-adjustment can cause fatigue. It is easy to read newspapers serially, and the handwriting is easy to see double. Later, it is impossible to read.

3. Reading requires stronger illumination. As they grow older, middle-aged and elderly people like to use brighter lights for reading at night, and sometimes even place the light between the book and the eye. But this will damage the eyes. Vision experts recommend half lens reading glasses and glass lens reading glasses to assist in daily work.

How to prevent presbyopia?

1 Wash your face with cold water. You can try to wash your face and eyes with cold water. When we get up every morning, we can flush our eyes with cold water, pour water into our eyes with our hands, or put a cold towel on our eyes, which can not only play a refreshing role, but also prevent presbyopia.

2. Overlook regularly. When we use our eyes for a long time, we can look into the distance, or look at more green plants, which can protect our eyesight. We can look into the distance once or twice every morning, noon, and dusk.

3. Active eyeballs. Blinking frequently can relieve the dryness of the eyes and moisturize the eyeballs. Blinking frequently can also invigorate and enhance the kinetic energy of the eye muscles, which can delay aging. We can open and close the eyes, 15 times at a time, and we can gently rub with both hands to relieve eye fatigue.

4. Keep your distance. To prevent eye fatigue, keep a certain distance when reading books, newspapers and TV, and the time should not be too long to prevent excessive fatigue of the eye muscles and eyesight. If you find that you can’t see clearly, wear high quality reading glasses, polarized reader sunglasses, or best blue light blocking reading glasses in time.
