A member asked:

How can i prevent eye sight deterioration?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Part of aging: By your question I assume you mean needing reading glasses or bifocals as we get older. This is a normal part of aging whereby the eyes lose some their ability to focus. Some Stay away from surgery or laser as the results are unpredictable.Some people get by with one contact for readingbut you need to be highly motivated.
