👓 Myth vs. Fact: Presbyopia Edition
Myth: If you need reading glasses, your eyes must be unhealthy.
Fact: Needing reading glasses is actually a normal part of aging called presbyopia.
As we get into our 40s and beyond, the lens inside the eye naturally becomes less flexible. This makes it harder to focus on things up close — like reading a menu, looking at your phone, or threading a needle.
👉 Having presbyopia doesn’t mean your eyes are sick or weak. It simply means they’ve gone through a natural, age-related change.
The good news? We have plenty of ways to help:
✔️ Reading glasses
✔️ Bifocals or progressives
✔️ Contact lenses designed for multifocal vision
👩⚕️ A regular eye exam is the best way to find the solution that keeps your vision clear and comfortable.
