Title: Presbyopia
Post by: ivor on March 31, 2014, 01:02:53 AM
Any tips for presbyopia?  Sometimes I seem to eat different things and it's worse but I am not sure what.

I have noticed that if I'm a bit dehydrated (nothing bad-- just feeling a bit "dry" in the sinuses), then my eyesight suffers too.   I may be all wet here (heh), but I do think the two are related.

So my answer to that, is lots of weak tea, which seems to help me recover the moisture.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyopia has "treatment" etc. I have trouble re-focusing my eyes, ie. if I have been watching TV, and then go to read something near sighht, there's a delay on focusing on the text. I don't know when this started, but sometime in the last 10 years. It's occasionally irritating. I've not considered whether anything makes it better or worse.
