Do you find yourself holding your phone farther away to read messages? Are night drives along Highway 1 or around San Luis Obispo becoming challenging? These are common signs that your eyes are changing—but your vision isn’t failing.
Pacific Eye Surgeons specializes in advanced eye care and vision correction procedures in San Luis Obispo County, helping patients maintain clear vision and a high quality of life.
Why Vision Changes Happen
After 40, your eye’s natural lens becomes less flexible. This leads to presbyopia, along with other potential changes:
- Increased need for bright light when reading
- Prescription updates more often
- Nighttime glare or halos
- Greater likelihood of cataracts or dry eye
Myth #1: “Cataracts are only for seniors.”
The truth: Cataracts can begin in your 40s or 50s. Symptoms include blurry vision, glare, and faded colors. Pacific Eye Surgeons provides cataract surgery with premium lens options to restore vision.
Myth #2: “Glasses are your only solution.”
The truth: Glasses are helpful, but not the only choice. Advanced vision correction treatments include:
- LASIK or PRK – Corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
- Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) – Replaces your natural lens with an artificial one, addressing presbyopia and reducing future cataract risk.
These options can restore clear vision and reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses for patients.
Myth #3: “Needing readers is a sign of serious vision loss.”
The truth: Presbyopia is normal and treatable. Multifocal and accommodating lens implants can reduce dependence on reading glasses.
Myth #4: “Aging eyes mean no options.”
The truth: From laser procedures to premium lenses, modern ophthalmology allows you to maintain crisp, clear vision as you age.
