Medical Forum / General / Vision / November 2005Presbyopia
Hello. I know it's a seemingly inevitable result of age but does *everyone* get presbyopia? > Hello. I know it's a seemingly inevitable result of age but does > *everyone* get presbyopia? Only those who live past 40. Other species get it too. -MT that is not true. I am 23 and am starting to get presbyopia. I am having some difficulty seeing from near with full power glasses so I remove my glasses or use weaker glasses to see from near. you do not have presbyopia. you need your eyes examined by an eye doctor to uncover the exact problem. possibly your eyeglass prescription is wrong. possibly you have an accommodative problem. possibly you have a binocular vision problem. presbyopia, by definition, is a loss in near refractive power that is age-related. My glasses arent too strong, in fact I asked him to pescribe me weaker glasses so I see better from near, like when I use the computer. My accomodation isnt very good, about +2.5 diopters, how much accomodation should a 23 year old have anyway? > My glasses arent too strong, in fact I asked him to pescribe me weaker > glasses so I see better from near, like when I use the computer. My > accomodation isnt very good, about +2.5 diopters, how much accomodation > should a 23 year old have anyway? 10 diopters or so. -MT ten???????? This means I should be seeing down to 4" with my full power glasses on! I can barely see this close without glasses and thats with both eyes crossed and really focusing. Even my sister doesnt have this much, I measured her at +7d accomodation and shes 18. I wish I had more accomodation like +5d but as long as im myopic, I wont need reading glasses anyway |
