Dr. Rhonda Robinson on New Technologies in Eye Care that May Keep You Looking and Feeling Younger
Forty may be the new thirty, and while pesky greys and fine lines can be taken care of in the beauty aisle of your local drugstore, options for addressing vision issues, such as reading glasses, can often make people appear older.
According to a recent survey, reading glasses – often found in the drugstore aisle – appear to be an easy solution for 53 percent of women over the age of 40 who report struggling to read the text on their digital devices1; however, almost half admit to feeling embarrassed, frumpy or annoyed when reaching for them1.

- How to identify the signs of developing presbyopia
- When it’s time to speak to your eye doctor
- New trends and technologies that may help put reading glasses out of sight for good
