Reading Glasses

Blurred vision, need to stretch out your arms to see clearly, difficulty reading in the dark... There is no doubt that presbyopia has something to do with it.

But don't worry: presbyopia affects more than 40% of the world's population and is a natural evolution of vision that affects everyone, especially after the age of 40. Difficulty in seeing up close and especially in reading is very symptomatic of presbyopia. So what exactly is it and what solutions are available to help you regain normal near vision?

Presbyopia is above all an unavoidable process: the aging of the lens. When we talk about presbyopia, we are talking more specifically about the loss of accommodation, the adjustment between distance and near vision, which results in a less sharp image than normal.

In concrete terms, the lens loses some of its elasticity and its ability to accommodate with age, preventing the eye from restoring a clear image. It is as if the lens of your binoculars or camera was seized: the adaptation (the "focus") can no longer be done correctly.

It becomes necessary to wear reading glasses as soon as you become presbyopic, which usually happens after the age of 40. However, it is possible to see the first symptoms of presbyopia appear at a younger age.

Presbyopia results in a real discomfort to see up close, especially during reading activities involving small print or work requiring the handling of small objects, such as designing miniature models. With magnifying lenses, reading glasses can correct this discomfort and make your daily life more comfortable by improving near vision.

Too often, people who were not used to wearing glasses before the age of 40 have difficulty adapting to their reading glasses. They wear them very little and lose them regularly.

This is why, in addition to having worked on the stylistic aspect of our glasses, we sought to make them as comfortable as possible. So you won't have any problem to keep your glasses on your nose. When you don't want to wear them, you can store them in their ultra-flat case and simply slip it into your pocket or put it on your bedside table.

We've also tried to work with quality materials to ensure that you can keep your glasses for a long time.
