Contact lenses Instead Reading Glasses

A contact lens worn each night could remove the need for reading glasses in middle age.
The technique - which experts liken to braces for the teeth - alters the shape of the eye to correct vision, without needing glasses or surgery.

The lenses work by gently pressing on the eye to restore it to the shape of someone with normal vision. Because they are worn while asleep, the wearer no longer needs their vision corrected during the day with reading glasses.

And because the lenses aren't worn in the day, the eyes still get sufficient oxygen.

Typical symptoms include having to hold a menu further away to get the text in focus - and many people require bifocals or reading glasses.

Presbyopia is caused by age-related loss of flexibility in the cornea-the transparent front part that lets light into the eye.

Eye examination confirmed that the lenses altered the shape of the cornea, as they were designed to do.
