Your Aging Eyes
As we age, we lose our ability to focus to close distances.
Presbyopia: a progressively diminished ability to focus on near objects with age, caused by a decline of your eyes’ lenses to increase their curvature…..and, hence, to focus in closer.
Shortly after birth, our eye has an amazing range of focus. A baby can focus on something right in front of his/her eyes. But over time, our eye's lens becomes increasingly less able to change shape. So, as we age, we lose our ability to focus to close distances. This ‘loss of accommodation’ is a natural consequence of aging and progresses with time.
Most people first notice this in their 40's... when they can no longer read print comfortably. By about age 65, we have lost most (but not quite all) of our "accommodation."
In addition, many of us have imperfections in the shape of our corneas, which causes us to be nearsighted, farsighted, and/or have astigmatism. These corneal imperfections can be corrected for with ‘distance’ prescription lenses or surgery.
Coping with Presbyopia
The conventional method of coping with presbyopia has been to use two or three sets of corrective lenses, each made to focus at a different distance:
- one to focus at reading distance (your cornea correction plus a close focus)
- one to focus at some middle distance (your cornea correction plus a mid-focus)
- and one to focus at "far" or distance (typically just your cornea correction)
You can do this with separate glasses for each distance, swapping between them. Or combine two or three ‘mini-lenses’ into one single lens (such as bifocals, trifocals, and progressives) then tilt and swivel your head to look through each ‘mini-lens’ to see clearly.
Now there is a better solution. TruFocals mimic the action of the youthful human eye. They combine a dynamic rear lens with a static front lens. The rear lens changes its curvature to adjust focus, like your eyes’ lenses used to do. The front lens corrects for your cornea’s imperfections.
The result: TruFocals restore your ability to see clearly, near, far, and anywhere in between, wherever you look.
See how they work and learn why TruFocals are a better solution. Stop compromising, and start seeing your whole world in focus, all the time.
