Contact Lenses for Presbyopia in Doral
What Is Presbyopia?
Presbyopia is the natural, age-related change that makes it harder to focus up close. It's often noticed when reading, using a phone or looking at small labels.
It happens because the eye's natural lens loses flexibility over the years and has a harder time changing focus.

Who May Be a Candidate?
People who notice difficulty up close and would rather not always rely on reading glasses. Your prescription, ocular surface and how you use your eyes day to day are all considered.
How Do They Work?
There are multifocal contact lenses with zones for different distances, along with other approaches chosen case by case. The goal is to balance distance and near vision for your usual activities.
