Vision Over 40

Home \ Eye Library \ Vision Over 40

If you are among the 85 million Baby Boomers in the United States and Canada (born between 1946 and 1964), you've probably noticed your eyes have changed. Most notably, presbyopia - the normal, age-related loss of near focusing ability - usually becomes a problem in our 40's, requiring new vision correction solutions. Learn about measures you can take to keep seeing clearly for years to come.

Multifocal Contact Lenses
Are you over 40 and struggling to read with your contacts? Try multi-focal contact lenses.
Multifocal Eyeglass Lenses
If you are over 40, already wear glasses, and your "arms aren't long enough" to read a newspaper, it's time for multifocal lenses.
Occupational Bifocal and Trifocals
"One-size-fits-all" doesn't apply when it comes to eyewear. The best eyeglass lens solutions for work and play are those tailored specifically to your vision needs.
How Progressive Lenses Work
There is no need to advertise your age with bifocals or trifocals-choose progressive lenses.
Reading Glasses
All about reading glasses, including why custom-made readers are superior to the pre-made variety from the drugstore.

The risk for dry eye increases with age, especially for women.
