Have you been searching for an alternative to reading glasses?
There are two unrelated conditions that can causes poor near vision.

Hyperopia is often confused with presbyopia. If you have always had difficulty seeing close up, you probably have hyperopia. If you have
just begun to notice a need for reading glasses as an onset of middle age. you have developed presbyopia. What presbyopia?

Presbyopia is a result of the eye's gradual inability to focus for near reading such as needle point and close up work. The eye's internal lens and
the muscles that control it lose elasticity. The condition cannot be directly
corrected with laser vision correction.
