Don't you wish your arms could just be a little longer?!

The 40 & 50 years 'Young' patients are just now noticing that their eyes may not have quite the clarity and comfort as they would like.  It may be harder to see both, reading and distance. Patients who use the terms “tired”, “dry”, “over-worked”, “strained” or “stressed” are really just noticing these changes now.

There may have been a great deal of time since your last full eye examination. Raising a family or succeeding in a career can keep people from having the time for regular eye and physical examinations. It always seems family and work come first, but now, take time for yourself.  It's your eyesight!  Occasionally, eye examinations can be a prelude to diagnosing physical disorders. Now is the time to get back into good habits. Your comfort at work, whether using a computer or studying blue prints can be enhanced by simple methods that can be discussed and prescribed at your eye examination.

Dr. Young highly recommends a comprehensive, dilated examination of internal and external ocular anatomy to evaluate a patient for beginning signs of pathology or early visual acuity difficulties. Development of problems increases as age increases, and therefore, baseline measurements and evaluations become more critical for future possible treatment plans and early detection of potentially serious sight threatening disease.

For you, the recommended Total EyeWare Solution may be different than the Young Adults.    Dr. Young may prescribe monovision, or bifocals to compensate for reading and distance, or trifocals to compensate for reading, computer vision and distance.  Progressives may also be prescribed. 

Also, the latest technology in contacts - Bifocal Contacts - may work well for you. 

When you see Dr. Young, please be sure to inform him of all difficulties you have experienced no matter how minor they may appear at the time.
