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 Professional Vision Services - Hillard, this common vision condition can be effectively managed, so you won’t have to compromise on your quality of life.

The office called several days after my visit to see how I was doing because of an issue I had with ... my eyes. Dr.Murray has been amazing: kind, professional -ethical—He did not charge me for services that I did not need. I heartily recommend this group. The BEST in the area!

I've been seeing Dr. Murray for around 25 years. My husband and I both see Dr. Murray. I don’t kno... w if our son still goes to PVS. I saw Dr. Pippo before Dr. Murray. Both doctors are great. Everyone is knowledgeable and friendly. Susie is fantastic! I used to wear special contacts and always an excellent job on them. The frames and lenses are high quality. Glasses come in fairly quickly. I also feel like family. I enjoy my yearly exams because that's when I visit everyone. Not too many of the original staff left. Some have been there so long they've retired. Loved Doreen, Ann, Phil, and Minnie when they worked there.

They are quite possibly the friendliest and most helpful vision services staff I've encountered in a... ll my years of needing vision correction. I'm glad I took a chance with them and I look forward to doing further business with them in the future.

Service was amazing! Loved my glasses. Dr.Reed was super nice and helpful. Definitely recommend to a... nyone looking for a new pair of glasses!!

My family of 5 came to this practice because it was recommended by others. I carry on the recommenda... tion. While every practice and profession will have those who felt their level of service inferior, the employees have really worked with my family. We all five have corrective lenses, including both glasses and contacts. They worked to find the correct contacts for me when I needed bifocals. Dr. Pipo straightforwardly explained what I would be gaining or losing with bifocal vision in contacts. He engaged my then preteen sons in conversation to make them feel comfortable. We have been with this practice nearly 8 years. Again, while no practice is perfect every day as no one is, this practice strives to serve, from the front desk to doctors (we’ve seen three different ones) to opticians.

Outstanding service,staff is out of this world.Great prices. I've been coming here for over 35 year... s!. When you walk in you're treated like family. Well worth the trip if you need to get glasses or contacts!

From the moment I walked in (for my initial appointment), I felt welcomed and well cared for. From t... he receptionists, to the technicians, the optometrist and the optician... all were focused on my needs. The technician who worked with me was new (only been there a month), so there were some bumps in that regard; but she knew what needed to be done and was looked in on regularly by her supervisor. Throughout my time with Dr. Pipo, I felt exceedingly reassured that the health of my eyes and vision were of the utmost importance to him. On a number of occasions, he told me that if I had any issues with my eyes: "floaters," stinging or dry eyes, or if there were changes in my vision, not to hesitate to call the office. I'm looking forward to being a regular patient here for many years to come!

Every interaction I've had with every staff member has been truly exceptional! Everyone, from the r... eceptionists and schedulers to the doctors and techs, show that they genuinely care about their patients! Thank you all for being so kind, caring, attentive, and good at your jobs!

Presbyopia Diagnosis Treatment FAQs

What is presbyopia treatment?

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
Can presbyopia be cured?

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.

How do I know if I have presbyopia?

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.

Are bifocals right for me?

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.
