Replace Your Reading Glasses With Contact Lenses

Beginning at around age 40, you’ll begin to develop presbyopia. This is a natural part of the aging process in which the crystalline lens inside your eye becomes less flexible, causing you to lose the ability to focus on objects up close. If you have trouble with small newspaper print or with reading menus in dim lighting, presbyopia is likely to blame.

One solution to managing the visual frustration of presbyopia is to carry around a pair of reading glasses for those challenging moments when you are struggling to read. But, as presbyopia progresses, it may become very inconvenient to put on reading glasses every time you need to see something up close. It’s an even bigger pain if you switch between glasses for distance vision and readers for near.

Fortunately, there are options for people who currently wear glasses as well as for people who are current contact lens wearers.
