Rapidly Deteriorating Eyesight. Worried About Needing Strong Reading Glasses

Thanks for the query.
You may have a condition known as early onset presbyopia. Usually this condition starts by the age of 40 when one starts experiencing difficulty in reading small print.
In your case the presbyopia has set in early. The more plus power you use for your near work (includes reading and computer monitor viewing) the more your eyes adapt and relax. Eventually it may become difficult to do any kind of near work.
My advice to you is to get your eyes checked by a competent ophthalmologist so that he/she can give you the correct prescription. I think you will need at the most a power of +1.00 for near (based on your age).
Please stop wearing +3.50 glasses.
Hope I have answered your queries. I will be available to answer any further queries if you have any.
Best regards,
Dr.Mihir Shah


Thanks for writing back.
I understand your concern.But wearing such high power glasses is not going to solve the problem.I really think you should get your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist.
