With time passing our organism is changing, and it is known that these changes mostly are not good. We lose a lot of abilities and our eye as well. The main problem of people who are 40 and more is the impossibility to change the focus of your vision from distant objects to near ones this condition of your eyesight is called presbyopia, and almost everyone faces with this problem. The biggest inconvenient for people with presbyopia is when they want to read something. The ability to focus your vision on close objects gradually weakens that’s why it becomes more and more difficult to read especially when the print is small, the lighting poor, or the reader is tired.
 There are some signs, which are associated with presbyopia:
• You usually move the thing further to see them more clearly. It seems like you read a menu.
• It’s rather difficult for you to read newspaper because of the print or to do some close-up task.
• When you read you don’t have fun any more because of headache, becoming sleepy and difficulty in focusing.
• It is difficult for you to read, when the light is dim.
If you face with the problem of presbyopia, don’t worry. This process is natural. You should know that your eyes won’t accommodate while presbyopia won’t disappear. There are many rather simple and effective ways to solve this problem. In the past the problem of presbyopia was solved with the help of reading glasses or bifocals and this way out was suitable for everyone. Nowadays today soft and rigid contacts can also help with the providing of visual correction for people who suffer from presbyopia. This news is good.
The bad news is that the correction of presbyopia with the help of contact lenses is not for everybody. There are two categories of people who use lenses for correction of presbyopia: the first category is those people who adjust to the contacts without any problems and they are completely satisfied with the effect, which their contacts provide. Another category of people is those who cannot adjust to the contact lenses or they simply aren’t satisfied with the visual effects their lenses provide. One more minus of bifocals is that these contact lenses are usually more expensive than standard "single vision" lenses. It depends on you and your needs what kind of contact lenses to choose and to wear. People who suffer from presbyopia usually need distant and near vision correction. Such people are called presbyopes. Presbyopes who need only the correction of near vision are the worst candidates for bifocal contact lenses. So, your chances are not pretty good for contact lenses, if you usually use glasses for reading only but your distance vision doesn’t need any correction and you can see clearly all objects which are far away from you.
