Just for Presbyopes
Presbyopia is a Latin term for "old man eyes." This condition actually begins in your late 20s and slowly causes close vision loss. Most people develop symptoms after age 35--these symptoms include eyestrain and blurry vision while reading. Often presbyopia causes people to push objects further away to view them clearly. The treatment for presbyopia includes glasses and contact lenses.
Reading glasses, bifocals, trifocals, or progressive multifocal blended lenses are all options to treat and correct presbyopia with glasses.
Soft, rigid, gas permeable, or a combination of these materials can treat presbyopia with contact lenses.
Computer Glasses
To reduce eye strain and fatigue, we carry specialized computer lenses. These lenses are perfect for computer users who spend a majority of their days working on computers. And since three out of four computer users will suffer from Computer Vision Syndrome, computer lenses are a great way to keep your eyesight healthy.
Reading Glasses
One of the first areas of your life where presbyopia becomes prominent is in your ability to read. We offer custom and pre-made readers, with non-glare lenses and modern frame designs in even the hard to find strengths. Feel confident wearing them anywhere!
No-Line Bifocals
For many presbyopes, bifocal lenses are a necessity. But it can be difficult to adjust to the harsh line that is found in many bifocal lenses. Fortunately, there are no-line lenses, which are also called progressive lenses. No more lines! Just a change in focusing power which allows you to comfortably focus on any distance. Just as with lined bifocals, distant objects are viewed through the top portion of the lenses, and near objects are viewed through the bottom portion of the lenses.
Bifocal Contacts
If you need bifocals but cannot stand wearing glasses, bifocal contact lenses may be right for you. Now you can have all of the benefits of bifocal lenses in the convenience of contact lenses. Talk with Dr. Bensing or Dr. Shuke about bifocal contacts at your next visit, or call our office at 717-738-2488 for more information.
Monovision Correction
For some of our emerging presbyopes, we offer another contact lens option to glasses. Monovision is a method of fitting your dominant eye for distance vision and your non-dominant eye for near vision. Contacts are available in gas permeable, disposable, or daily disposable lenses to fit your lifestyle. Most patients require 2-4 weeks to make the adjustment from binocular vision to monovision.
