HERE YOU WILL FIND SOME USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT READING GLASSES AND PRESBYOPIA :
Reading Glasses
(most content provided by www.ezinearticles.com)
Reading glasses seem pretty much ubiquitous these days. With Baby Boomers entering retirement age, more and more of us are finding readers to be a necessary tool. As we age, the lens becomes less elastic, with the result that focusing on things close up - like words on a page - becomes more difficult. This is easily corrected with a pair of reading glasses, and newer advances in plastics can provide improved durability and quality.
But what did people do before?
Before the printing press, literacy rates worldwide were never very high and so it would not have had nearly as negative an impact on a person's daily life as presbyopia does today. But the ability to magnify something using glass or other materials dates back to the Egyptians in the 8th century BC. However, it was not until the Dark Ages began giving way to the Renaissance that true reading glasses were invented. While we do not know exactly who first invented them, it's clear that between 1280 and 1300, someone in Pisa, Italy came up with the first pair of wearable reading glasses.
Initially, these consisted of metal frames and glass lenses, which did the trick but also had many drawbacks. For one, they were quite expensive, and easily damaged. They also weren't at all convenient. The primary design was a sort of scissors configuation, in which two lenses were attached to the ends of two arms, which were joined at the bottom by a hinge. When you needed them, you pulled them out of a pocket or pouch and pulled the arms apart to fit your face, manually holding them in front of you much as you would a magnifying glass.
In the interests of greater convenience, these eventually gave way to other designs, most notably, the pince-nez that Theodore Roosevelt made famous. While the pressure on the wearer's nose invariably caused headaches, this had obvious benefits over the scissors configuration. However, Roosevelt was not without options - the modern format, with temples that pass over the ears was invented in the late 18th century in London.
Roosevelt was, however, only the first in a long line of celebrities whose glasses were an easily-recognizable part of their personal style. John Lennon's round glasses, Buddy Holly's horn-rimmed frames, and - more recently - the band Weezer's thick-framed glasses.
Modern reading glasses come in a bewilderingly broad variety of styles that fit any face shape and personal style. The discerning reading-glasses-wearer can easily find both form and function, style and quality - without breaking the bank.
Presbyopia
(most content provided by Healthwise)
What is presbyopia? Presbyopia, also known as the "short arm syndrome", is the normal worsening of vision with age, especially near vision. As you approach middle age, the lenses in your eyes begin to thicken and lose their flexibility. The ability of the lens to bend allows our eyes to focus on objects at varying distances(accomodation). The loss of this ability means that vision gets worse and objects cannot be brought into focus. Normally, a muscle surrounding the lens in your eye expands or contracts, depending on the distance to the object you're focusing on. With presbyopia, the muscle still works, but it may not work as well. Also, the lens loses much of its flexibility and won't bend enough to bring close objects into focus. Images are then focused behind the retina instead of directly on it, leaving close vision blurred. Putting greater distance between the object and your eye brings the object into focus : for example, holding a newspaper farther from your face. For this reason, presbyopia is sometimes called "short arm syndrome".
What causes presbyopia? Presbyopia is a natural part of aging. As you grow older, the lenses in your eyes thicken and lose their elasticity, and the muscles surrounding the lenses weaken. Both these changes decrease your ability to focus, especially on near objects. The changes take place gradually, though it may seem that this loss of accommodation occurs quickly.
What are the symptoms? The main symptom of presbyopia is blurred vision, especially when you do close work or try to focus on near objects. You find that you nedd to hold books, magazines, newspapers, menus and other reading materials at arm's length in order to focus properly. This is worse in dim light or when you are fatigued.
How is it treated? Presbyopia can usually be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. If you didn't need glasses or contacts before presbyopia appeared, you can probably correct your eyesight by using reading glasses for close work. For others, bifocals (glasses with reading and distance correction) or separate pairs of reading and distance glasses are necessary.
Will your vision continue to get worse? Near vision begins to decline due to presbyopia at around age 40. Your eyes continue to lose the ability to accommodate, requiring changes to prescriptions for glasses until you reach your early 60s. At this point, accommodation stabilizes and your vision should stop getting worse.
