It might be time for bifocals. Naturally, as we age, the ability to focus and clearly see near objects may get harder to do. This is believed to be due to the decreased efficiency of the ciliary body (muscle inside the eye) and the lens in your eyes losing their flexibility. If you notice your nearsightedness isn't as clear as it used to be, please don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with us.
