What is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is an age-related vision condition that causes near objects to appear blurry. It typically starts in a person’s 40’s, when the lens of the eye begins to stiffen and lose flexibility. This makes it difficult to focus on nearby objects.

Presbyopia can significantly impact your quality of life. Regular daily activities like reading books, instruction manuals and food labels, scrolling through your phone, threading a needle and other close-up tasks can become daunting.

The good news is, with the help of EyeTX - Vineyard-Blanco, this common vision condition can be effectively managed, so you won’t have to compromise on your quality of life.

Presbyopia Treatment Options

  • Eyeglasses

    • Prescription reading glasses
    • Bifocals: for distance and near vision correction
    • Progressive multifocals: see objects at a near, intermediate or far distance
  • Contact lenses

    • Bifocal contact lenses: different sections for reading and distance prescriptions
    • Monovision contact lenses: distance prescription in one eye and reading prescription in the other eye
  • Laser surgery

    Changes the shape of the cornea to correct vision. Some examples include:

    • LASIK
    • LASEK
    • Photorefractive keratectomy
  • Lens implant

    An eye surgeon removes your natural lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens. This new lens is flexible and can restore your ability to focus on near objects.

Presbyopia Diagnosis Treatment FAQs

What is presbyopia treatment?

Presbyopia treatment corrects age-related farsightedness to enable you to see close-up objects, such as books and electronic screens more clearly. Treatments include:

  • Eyeglasses
  • Contact lenses
  • Laser surgery
  • Lens implants
Can presbyopia be cured?

Currently, there is no cure. The good news is that our optometrists can recommend a variety of treatment options to help you see your best, from near to far.

How do I know if I have presbyopia?

If you’re over 40 and struggle with any of the following, you may have presbyopia.

  • Holding a book or a screen at arm’s length to see it more clearly
  • Needing larger print or font size to read
  • Blurry vision while reading
  • Difficulty reading in dim light
  • Eye strain and headaches when focusing on near objects

If you have one or more of these signs, schedule an eye exam and ask us about glasses, contact lenses, or other presbyopia treatment options.

Are bifocals right for me?

If it’s hard for you to read and to see things at a distance, bifocals may be your perfect solution. With bifocals, you can get two prescriptions in one. One corrects farsightedness and the other corrects nearsightedness. We offer several different types of bifocal lenses to suit your personal preference.

Dr Marlan Anderson is outstanding eye Doctor Who pays attention to every detail. I am extremely happ... y with his services and I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need for an eye doctor.

Yesterday, my son had somehow scratched his eye and was sent home from school in extreme pain. We im... mediately visited one clinic that had told us by phone that they dealt with this issue, but after charging us the fee, their doctor came into the exam room and 60 seconds later told us they didn't have the special orange fluid or equipment to do the necessary eye exam. He said we needed to take him to an emergency room, and then to a specialist he knew. Walking out with the sealed letter he gave us that he instructed us to give to the emergency room, which apparently contained the name of his specialist, my son and I were back to square one, him in pain and me out money with nothing to show for it. Not wanting to spend a fortune on an emergency room visit and then a specialist, my wife and I got on the phone and found EyeTX. Never having been there, we read the reviews - which were good - so we called, explained the situation, and the very kind receptionist assured us they did this service and made an appointment for one hour later. Ninety minutes later, my son had received a thorough, professional examination, his pain was gone, and we were picking up the prescription they'd given us. And all for a VERY reasonable fee. I don't write many reviews, but I wanted to write this one because Dr. Anderson at this EyeTX location was the best physician I've ever seen in the United States. Compassionate, kind, and thoroughly professional. In short, he's the doctor ALL doctors should aspire to be. Naturally, I recommend this place, this staff, and this doctor highly, and we will be lifelong patrons.

We had a great experience. I made an appointment with the Vineyard-Blanco Team EyeTX Vision Center b... ecause my eye doctor no longer accepted my current eye insurance. Therefore, I did some research online and liked the reviews that I saw for Dr.Green and made an appointment through Zodoc. I found the staff at this clinic to be quick and courteous with check-in and Dr.Green to be easy to talk to and he seemed to connect well with my kids. Lastly, the frame selection was very good. I found some frames that I want for myself and am planning to make an appointment in the near future because I’m over due for an exam and new frames.

Best optometrist office. I have been seeing Dr. Anderson for decades. He really cares about his pa... tients and does a thorough exam. The front desk staff is professional and efficient. I love the new OptoMap technology that provide high definition photos without the need for eye dilation drops and that whole after effect.
