We've all seen older friends and family hold menus or books at arm's length. This is the effect of presbyopia, and it happens to everyone. Starting at around age 40, the lens inside your eye begins to lose flexibility, causing blurry vision up close, especially in low light.
When you're younger, your eyes' lenses are very flexible. As you age, the lenses become more rigid, making it harder for the small muscles that control them to adjust their shape. Without a flexible lens, it's difficult to focus on things up close.
If you're around 40 and noticing changes in your vision, you're probably experiencing presbyopia. It can be diagnosed by your eye care professional during your annual eye exam. Be sure to share your concerns with your eye care professional at that time. If you need vision correction, your eye care professional will provide a prescription following a thorough exam.
Eyeglasses, reading glasses or contact lenses can all help. Specifically, ACUVUE® Contact Lenses for presbyopia are designed to correct your vision near, far and in between, decreasing your need for reading glasses or other vision correction.
*Free trial contact lenses available only from participating eye care professionals. Exam and fitting fees not included.
#Helps protect against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea & into the eye.
WARNING: UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed. NOTE: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV-blocking contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your eye care professional for more information.
Important information for contact lens wearers: ACUVUE® Contact Lenses are available by prescription only for vision correction. An eye care professional will determine whether contact lenses are right for you. Although rare, serious eye problems can develop while wearing contact lenses. To help avoid these problems, follow the wear and replacement schedule and the lens care instructions provided by your eye care professional. Do not wear contact lenses if you have an eye infection, or experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems. If one of these conditions occurs, remove the lens and contact your eye care professional immediately. For more information on proper wear, care and safety, talk to your eye care professional and ask for a Patient Instruction Guide, call 1-800-267-5098, or download the Patient Instruction Guides.
