The "Short Arm" Syndrome
Around age 40, the lens of the eye becomes more rigid and less flexible. This makes it harder to focus on close objects—a condition called presbyopia. Suddenly, menus are blurry, and your phone needs to be held at arm's length.
You Have Options
Many people assume reading glasses are their only fate. But technology has advanced significantly.
Multifocal Contact Lenses
Modern multifocal contacts work like progressive glasses, providing clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances simultaneously. They are designed to work with your brain's natural visual processing.
Monovision
Another option is monovision, where one eye is corrected for distance and the other for near. It sounds strange, but many patients adapt quickly and love the freedom it provides.
