Could farsightedness affect close-up vision?

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.

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.
