YOU SHOULD SEE WHAT YOU’RE MISSING!

Eye Treatment for the Baby Boomer Generation

SCRIPT:  Healthcare Now, I’m Matt Kelly.  Chances are if you are over 40, you have Presbyopia, an age related eye condition.  Currently, one hundred million Americans have it.  Estimates are that that number will grow by  four million cases per year.  While it may sound alarming, it’s actually a normal part of the aging process and can be easily corrected, according to optometrist Dr. Richard Clompus. 

CUT (Clompus):  Presbyopia is a very normal aging condition that affects over a hundred million people in the United States.  It’s a condition associated with aging and it affects most people over the age of 40.  The condition usually begins with a little bit of blur up close and the nice part about it is a visit with your eye doctor can help diagnose the condition.  And the treatment in many cases is a pair of glasses or contact lenses.  A new lense called Difinity provides clear vision in all distances to really correct and compensate for Presbyopia.
