Presbyopia Treatment in Raytown
What is Presbyopia?
Presbyopia is an age-related vision condition that causes near objects to appear blurry. It typically starts in a person’s 40’s, when the lens of the eye begins to stiffen and lose flexibility. This makes it difficult to focus on nearby objects.
Presbyopia can significantly impact your quality of life. Regular daily activities like reading books, instruction manuals and food labels, scrolling through your phone, threading a needle and other close-up tasks can become daunting.
The good news is, with the help of AEG Vision, this common vision condition can be effectively managed, so you won’t have to compromise on your quality of life.
Presbyopia Treatment Options
-
Eyeglasses
- Prescription reading glasses
- Bifocals: for distance and near vision correction
- Progressive multifocals: see objects at a near, intermediate or far distance
-
Contact lenses
- Bifocal contact lenses: different sections for reading and distance prescriptions
- Monovision contact lenses: distance prescription in one eye and reading prescription in the other eye
-
Laser surgery
Changes the shape of the cornea to correct vision. Some examples include:
- LASIK
- LASEK
- Photorefractive keratectomy
-
Lens implant
An eye surgeon removes your natural lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens. This new lens is flexible and can restore your ability to focus on near objects.

Presbyopia Diagnosis Treatment FAQs
Presbyopia treatment corrects age-related farsightedness to enable you to see close-up objects, such as books and electronic screens more clearly. Treatments include:
- Eyeglasses
- Contact lenses
- Laser surgery
- Lens implants
Currently, there is no cure. The good news is that our optometrists can recommend a variety of treatment options to help you see your best, from near to far.
If you’re over 40 and struggle with any of the following, you may have presbyopia.
- Holding a book or a screen at arm’s length to see it more clearly
- Needing larger print or font size to read
- Blurry vision while reading
- Difficulty reading in dim light
- Eye strain and headaches when focusing on near objects
If you have one or more of these signs, schedule an eye exam and ask us about glasses, contact lenses, or other presbyopia treatment options.
If it’s hard for you to read and to see things at a distance, bifocals may be your perfect solution. With bifocals, you can get two prescriptions in one. One corrects farsightedness and the other corrects nearsightedness. We offer several different types of bifocal lenses to suit your personal preference.

I had an appointment here yesterday to get my glasses/contacts prescription's and was very happy wit... Show Moreh how kind and efficient everyone was. My appointment was at 2 and I was out of there by 2:35. The receptionist was friendly and welcoming, the ophthalmic assistant was training a new hire and they were both friendly and efficient as well. The ophthalmologist was amicable and quick. I've been to several other ophthalmology practices and have left irritated and flustered do to lackadaisical attitudes and pushy upselling for inhouse sold frames and contact lenses, and am happy to report that was not the case here. The assistant that printed off my prescriptions asked once and lightly if I was interested in their products and after I replied "No." (expecting to have to patiently reiterate myself soon) she instead gave me a kind and disarming smile. I was already convinced to become a repeat customer, but her kind approach and understanding acceptance made a big impact and guaranteed my return. I feel it seems a bit crazy to be so ecstatic about what should be considered the norm for customer service, but in todays world everyone is on guard, and this place stands above the rest. A big thank you to the entire team at Advanced EyeCare - Raytown!
