Our vision changes as we age, because the eye's lens and its muscles used for focusing become less flexible. The condition is called presbyopia. People age 40 and older often notice that print begins to blur when they're reading. That's a clear sign of presbyopia, even if a person hasn't worn glasses before. If you have worn eyeglasses before age 40, signs of presbyopia also mean that single-vision lenses won't work for you anymore. There are several kinds of single-vision and multi-focal prescription eyeglasses that can correct presbyopia. These include: * Bifocals. Their invention is attributed to America's first scientist, Benjamin Franklin. Unfortunately, in the three centuries since ol' Benjy invented them, traditional bifocals haven't changed much. They still are made with only near and far vision, with no intermediate zone. The top half of bifocals is used for distance vision and the bottom half for reading. A noticeable line separates the two lens regions. * Trifocals. This kind of lens attempts to include all three seeing distances: near, middle and far.glasses frames]]> prescription eye glasses]]> prescription sunglasses]]> glasses]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Choose-The-Right-Prescription-Eyeglasses-For-Older-Eyes/869396 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 15:13:28 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Choose-The-Right-Prescription-Eyeglasses-For-Older-Eyes/869396 There are many optometrists in Florida.
