Vision from 40

Your distance vision and near

From the age of 40, most people start to suffer from a deterioration in vision for near work - a very natural process.

To be able to understand it, it is important to know how sharp sight works: the crystalline lens of the eye changes shape in dependence on the distance of the object being looked at. This elasticity deteriorates in cases of presbyopia. First signs: when reading, you tend to hold your book or newspaper further and further away - until you cannot go any further.

In this case, reading glasses for a sharp vision area of around 40 cm may be the solution. For other applications, multifocal lenses or progressive lenses may be more comfortable.

Multifocals or progressives?

With multifocal lenses (bifocals or trifocals), a special surface for near vision is ground into the lens; if necessary a further surface is ground for intermediate distances. The advantage: there is no need to keep on changing glasses or having to look over the rim of the frames. However, unlike progressive lenses, there is a visible dividing line between the different vision zones.
