From the age of 40 onwards, many people begin to notice that reading, looking at their mobile phone or sewing becomes more difficult. This condition is called presbyopia and is part of the natural ageing process of the eye. Detecting it early can make all the difference in maintaining comfortable and healthy vision on a daily basis.
How do you know if you have presbyopia?
Some common signs are:
- Holding reading material farther away to see it clearly.
- Visual fatigue or discomfort when working up close.
- Headaches after long hours of reading or using digital devices.
Although presbyopia is diagnosed by an optician, many people postpone their visit and don’t know whether they need glasses or if their current ones need updating.

- Assess your vision in minutes from home with a simple test.
