Young adults with slighter forms of hypermetropia need glasses only for near work; elderly people should have one pair of weak glasses for distant and another stronger pair for near vision.
Minnesota Eye Consultants offers an innovative near-vision refractive correction technique to those who have experienced this age-related deterioration of their near vision.
What they do is add an intermediate section between your near vision prescription and the one for distance.
If you're just starting to need near vision assistance, a +1.00 is a good place to start.
If you have a finicky near vision prescription, your eye doctor may prescribe one that's just for you.
