Restore Optimal Reading Vision

Reading vision refers to the ability to clearly see and focus on close-up text, such as books, phones, or labels. However, if you have reading vision problems, you may experience blurry or fuzzy print, eye strain, headaches, and difficulty reading small text. As we age, conditions like presbyopia or other vision impairments can affect our reading vision. If left untreated, these issues can worsen, leading to increased discomfort and difficulty performing everyday tasks. Early intervention with Dr. Nam can help restore your vision.

Common Symptoms of Reading Vision Issues:

  • Blurry or fuzzy print when reading close-up text
  • Frequent eye strain or discomfort while reading
  • Headaches after reading for extended periods
  • Difficulty focusing on small text or fine print
  • The need to hold reading material at arm’s length
  • Frequent squinting to see clearly at close distances
  • Inability to read for long periods without fatigue
  • Double vision when reading or looking at close objects

How Do You Treat Reading Vision Problems?

Dr. Nam will begin by conducting a thorough eye exam to assess your vision and identify the underlying cause of your reading issues. Based on your diagnosis, he will curate a personalized plan tailored to your needs. This may include prescribing corrective lenses, recommending specific exercises, or exploring surgical options like refractive lens exchange. Dr. Nam will take the time to explain your options and work with you to find the most effective solution to restore your reading vision and improve your daily life.

Reading Vision FAQs

What Causes Reading Vision Problems?

Reading vision problems can be caused by a variety of factors. As we age, the natural lens of the eye becomes less flexible, leading to presbyopia, a condition where focusing on close-up objects becomes difficult. Other causes include astigmatism, nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and eye conditions like cataracts or macular degeneration. Certain lifestyle factors, such as extended screen time, can also contribute to eye strain when reading.

Can Reading Vision Problems Be Treated Without Glasses?

Yes, in many cases, reading vision problems can be treated without glasses. Dr. Nam will conduct a thorough exam to determine the best course of action. Depending on the diagnosis, surgical interventions like refractive lens exchange or LASIK may be recommended to provide long-lasting freedom from glasses and contact lenses.

Can Surgery Fix My Reading Vision Problems?

Surgery may be a viable option for some patients, especially if issues are related to presbyopia, cataracts, or other refractive problems. Dr. Nam offers advanced surgical procedures like refractive lens exchange or laser treatments that can restore near vision. He will carefully evaluate your eye health and customize a treatment plan to meet your specific needs, helping you achieve better reading vision without the need for glasses.
