Have you noticed subtle changes in your eyesight recently? Perhaps reading or night driving feels different. These are normal signs that your eyes are aging—but that doesn’t mean you’re out of options.
At ADV Vision, we specialize in advanced vision correction and treatment options for patients throughout San Luis Obispo County.
Why Your Vision Changes
In your 40s, the lens in your eye loses flexibility, causing presbyopia, which affects near vision. Other changes may include:
- Needing stronger lighting to read
- Frequent prescription updates
- Glare or halos at night
- Risk of cataracts and other age-related conditions
Myth #1: “Cataracts only happen in old age.”
The truth: Cataracts often begin in your 40s or 50s. Early signs include blurred vision, glare, and faded colors. ADV Vision offers modern cataract surgery with premium lens implants to restore clarity for patients on the Central Coast.
Myth #2: “Glasses are your only option.”
The truth: Advanced vision correction treatments are available:
- LASIK or PRK – Corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
- Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) – Replaces your natural lens with an artificial one, addressing presbyopia and reducing future cataract risk.
These options can restore clear vision and minimize reliance on glasses or contacts for patients.
Myth #3: “Needing reading glasses means your vision is failing.”
The truth: Presbyopia is a natural part of aging. Multifocal and accommodating lenses can reduce or eliminate dependence on readers.
Myth #4: “Nothing can be done for aging eyes.”
The truth: Modern ophthalmology offers solutions, including customized laser treatments, premium lenses, and minimally invasive procedures, helping patients maintain vision clarity along the Central Coast.
