Near vision spectacles
Near vision problems in older adults (presbyopia) can be improved with near vision spectacles.
Near vision spectacles help the person to carry out any activity that is within arms-reach. For example, to:
- Sew
- Write
- Cook
- Harvest
- Repair things
- Use a mobile phone.
Near vision spectacles work by making text or objects look larger (magnified).
Meet Malik
Malik is a tailor aged 45 years old.
When he was younger, he had no problems with his vision. A few years ago, he noticed that he was having difficulty seeing when sewing.
He was told he had a near vision problem for older adults. He was relieved to find that near vision spectacles solved the problem for him.
Near vision spectacles are different to prescription spectacles.
Prescription spectacles are only provided after a full eye exam by an eye health professional. Prescription spectacles help people with different types of distance vision problems.
Near vision spectacles are generally used for people with near vision problems for older adults.
