Presbyopia Treatment in Dallas
What is Presbyopia?
Presbyopia is an age-related vision condition that causes near objects to appear blurry. It typically starts in a person’s 40’s, when the lens of the eye begins to stiffen and lose flexibility. This makes it difficult to focus on nearby objects.
Presbyopia can significantly impact your quality of life. Regular daily activities like reading books, instruction manuals and food labels, scrolling through your phone, threading a needle and other close-up tasks can become daunting.
The good news is, with the help of Optix Eyecare & Gallery, this common vision condition can be effectively managed, so you won’t have to compromise on your quality of life.
Presbyopia Treatment Options
-
Eyeglasses
- Prescription reading glasses
- Bifocals: for distance and near vision correction
- Progressive multifocals: see objects at a near, intermediate or far distance
-
Contact lenses
- Bifocal contact lenses: different sections for reading and distance prescriptions
- Monovision contact lenses: distance prescription in one eye and reading prescription in the other eye

Laser surgery
Changes the shape of the cornea to correct vision. Some examples include:
- LASIK
- LASEK
- Photorefractive keratectomy

Lens implant
An eye surgeon removes your natural lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens. This new lens is flexible and can restore your ability to focus on near objects.

Presbyopia Diagnosis Treatment FAQs
Presbyopia treatment corrects age-related farsightedness to enable you to see close-up objects, such as books and electronic screens more clearly. Treatments include:
- Eyeglasses
- Contact lenses
- Laser surgery
- Lens implants
Currently, there is no cure. The good news is that our optometrists can recommend a variety of treatment options to help you see your best, from near to far.
If you’re over 40 and struggle with any of the following, you may have presbyopia.
- Holding a book or a screen at arm’s length to see it more clearly
- Needing larger print or font size to read
- Blurry vision while reading
- Difficulty reading in dim light
- Eye strain and headaches when focusing on near objects
If you have one or more of these signs, schedule an eye exam and ask us about glasses, contact lenses, or other presbyopia treatment options.
If it’s hard for you to read and to see things at a distance, bifocals may be your perfect solution. With bifocals, you can get two prescriptions in one. One corrects farsightedness and the other corrects nearsightedness. We offer several different types of bifocal lenses to suit your personal preference.

I have to give a huge shoutout to Kellee, who is a major reason I continue coming back to this locat... Show Moreion even though I now live in Frisco and it’s about a 45-minute drive for me.
About a year ago, I fell in love with a pair of sunglasses here but ultimately bought a different pair after my boyfriend convinced me they looked better on me. They were great, but I never stopped thinking about the other ones! When I came back recently, I learned they had just changed out their inventory, and I figured I had missed my chance. Kellee actually went back through their system, tracked down the exact sunglasses I remembered, and discovered that somehow they were one of the pairs that hadn’t been replaced and were STILL THERE. I was ridiculously excited.
That kind of attention and follow-through is exactly what I appreciate about Kellee. Having lived in New York City, I have a special appreciation for people who are straightforward, efficient, and just get things done, and Kellee absolutely does.
Most recently, there was an issue at the lab that delayed my regular glasses—they completed my sunglasses but not my eyeglasses. I had already been waiting a while and was understandably disappointed, but Kellee immediately explained what had happened, apologized, and genuinely empathized with my frustration. By the end of the conversation, I actually felt better about the situation, which says a lot about how good she is at customer service.
Kellee is phenomenal. She is attentive, efficient, straightforward, kind, and genuinely cares about taking care of her customers. There are plenty of eyeglass stores much closer to me, but she is why I will happily drive 45 minutes to keep coming back to this one.
