Why is Reading Difficult as We Become Older

As you become older, you may find reading difficult. In fact, you may also notice that you’re holding books and restaurant menus farther, to see clearly. This is a normal process of ageing: all of us face this struggle, and is due to changes within your eyes over time. This refractive error, or vision problem, is called presbyopia.

Contact Lenses for Children 

As a parent you must remember that contact lenses must be used with great caution in children, and only on advice of your eye doctor. Even infants may be prescribed contact lenses, if required. That said, most doctors prefer to prescribe contact lenses for children after they are twelve years or older. However, children above the age of eight may be eligible for contact lenses if they are responsible about hygiene.
