Presbyopia Treatment in Bluffton
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 The Eye Site of Bluffton, 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 been a patient at The Eye Site of Bluffton for several years, and I truly cannot say e... Show Morenough wonderful things about Dr. Jen and her entire staff!
Dr. Jen is absolutely amazing. She is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients. I have a family history of macular degeneration. Because of this, I naturally have concerns about my eye health. Dr. Jen has always gone above and beyond to carefully examine my eyes, establish detailed baselines, and monitor even the smallest changes over time.
What I appreciate most is that she never dismisses my concerns. She takes the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and provide reassurance while still being extremely diligent about my eye health. That combination of expertise, compassion, and attention to detail means so much to me.
I also want to recognize her entire staff. Everyone is consistently friendly, welcoming, helpful, and professional. From the moment you walk through the door, you feel genuinely cared for.
It's rare to find a practice where you have such confidence in both the doctor and the entire team. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Jen and The Eye Site of Bluffton and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional eye care!
