What is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is an age-related vision condition that causes near objects to appear blurry. It typically starts in a person’s 40’s, when the lens of the eye begins to stiffen and lose flexibility. This makes it difficult to focus on nearby objects.

Presbyopia can significantly impact your quality of life. Regular daily activities like reading books, instruction manuals and food labels, scrolling through your phone, threading a needle and other close-up tasks can become daunting.

The good news is, with the help of Memorial Eye Center - Rayford, this common vision condition can be effectively managed, so you won’t have to compromise on your quality of life.

Called to schedule my husband an appointment and the lady at the front desk was able to get him in i... mmediately. His appointment was scheduled for 30 minutes from the time I called which was great. We were greeted by two ladies as soon as we walked in the door. Wait time was minimal, less than 3 minutes. The staff was friendly and helpful. Megan is the absolute best she’s always willing to help in any way. The waiting area and the exam room were very clean and well kept. Plus they had a great playlist!

Memorial Eye Center (formerly Today's Vision) is my go-to place for eye exams. The staff are friend... ly, polite & professional. The exams are thorough and you never feel like anything has been missed. Dr. Patel explains any questions you have in as much detail as you want. I always learn something from him.

First time to visit this location and quite some time since I had an eye exam. I was very fortunate ... on the first try to meet Dr. Patel and the staff at the Rayford office. Very knowledgeable. Very honest. Very straightforward. Very professional. Very courteous.

I have been a happy patient of Dr. Patel's for almost a decade. I couldn't ask for better service. M... y family and I would not go any place else for our eye care.

Great atmosphere and service!!!

I just moved to the area and walked into the office to get information. They brought me in for an ex... am right then! Super friendly doctor and staff!

Dr. Patel is always so happy and high energy. I wish I could find a family practitioner that cares f... or their patients the way Dr. P does. My family and I always enjoy our yearly visits. I love the new front lobby staff too!

My whole family sees dr. Patel, hes very nice and the staff is great!

Dr. Patel is the best! Takes great care of my family. Thoroughly answers our questions and never mak... es us feel rushed. The best part is that he isn't just in it for the quick buck, as he has been very conservative in advising on glasses for both of my children. He also took the time to explain blue light to my boys and the importance of turning off their tablets at least an hour before bedtime. I highly recommend!

Dr. Patel is easily the best eye doctor I have ever seen. I am 51 years old and have worn glasses si... nce I was 5, so I have seen many eye doctors over the years, he beats them all. I first saw him in Spring, then followed him to College Station (yes, I drove from Spring to CS just to see him, multiple times) and now back to the Woodlands. Every eye doctor and surgeon I had ever seen told me I was the most far-sighted patient they had ever encountered, and he was no different. To add to that I have astigmatisms in both eyes, am diabetic and am myopic, near legally blind in my left eye, so I was and am a high-maintenance patient. I literally could not function without my eyewear, and at the time wore the strongest contacts available, with +4 cheaters on top of them when I needed to read. Dr. Patel was very instrumental in helping me attain lense replacement and lasic sugery, which at the time most places were turning me away due to my vison being so poor. However, he spoke with the surgeons and supplied referrals which no doubt helped me attain my dream of eye surgery, which was above and beyond his responsibility. His staff is also great, very knowledgeable and friendly, always greeting with a smile and a super attitude and also a big help picking out frames, of which they have a huge selection. He uses all the latest, cutting edge equipment, his office is always clean and looking great. You wont find a better or more caring or attentive eye doctor, he also has great prices and will work with anyone. I have seen him for over 10 years, and he now takes care of my entire family, which makes 5 of us. We have four different insurance plans and he accomodates them all. I wouldn’t dream of ever seeing anyone else. This may sound like a commercial, or a fake review, but I am just a patient, and its all true. However, I am obviously a very, extremely satisfied patient. If you ever see him once you won’t go anywhere else, promise.

Dr. Patel is phenomenal!!! Very knowledgeable and GREAT with our kids. He's very detailed but pract... ical, not just looking to make money. He's genuine in his assessment.
- Jul. 01, 2019
Great visit! I was in and out in less than an hour. Everyone in the office was fantastic!
- Jun. 25, 2019
I have been a patient here for several years now and I have nothing but great things to say. I would... n't go anywhere else. Dr. Patel is constantly updating his knowledge, his practice, and takes care of me like family.

Presbyopia Diagnosis Treatment FAQs

What is presbyopia treatment?

Presbyopia treatment corrects age-related farsightedness to enable you to see close-up objects, such as books and electronic screens more clearly. Treatments include:

  • Eyeglasses
  • Contact lenses
  • Laser surgery
  • Lens implants
Can presbyopia be cured?

Currently, there is no cure. The good news is that our optometrists can recommend a variety of treatment options to help you see your best, from near to far.

How do I know if I have presbyopia?

If you’re over 40 and struggle with any of the following, you may have presbyopia.

  • Holding a book or a screen at arm’s length to see it more clearly
  • Needing larger print or font size to read
  • Blurry vision while reading
  • Difficulty reading in dim light
  • Eye strain and headaches when focusing on near objects

If you have one or more of these signs, schedule an eye exam and ask us about glasses, contact lenses, or other presbyopia treatment options.

Are bifocals right for me?

If it’s hard for you to read and to see things at a distance, bifocals may be your perfect solution. With bifocals, you can get two prescriptions in one. One corrects farsightedness and the other corrects nearsightedness. We offer several different types of bifocal lenses to suit your personal preference.
