Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 50-year-old female, experiencing challenges with close-up vision. Kindly answer the questions below on farsightedness.
Are there any available corrective measures for farsightedness?
Are there any lifestyle adjustments or preventive measures that can help manage this condition?
I can see things that are very far from me but cannot see things that are very close to me, like reading books and magazines. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
It is a normal physiological condition that starts at 40 years of age. I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions:
Use corrective spectacles of around +1.75 to +2.0 D strength while working for near. This is the easiest way to alleviate the symptoms and prevent strain.
Use lubricant eyedrops frequently to reduce strain. Kindly consult a specialist, and talk to them to evaluate your condition clinically.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
