No longer 6: 6

Presbyopia or in everyday name, old age vision is a natural phenomenon that develops as early as the second decade of life, but usually begins to be felt only towards the age of 40. Over the years, as part of the puberty process, the eye lenses lose their elasticity. The result is difficulty concentrating vision on nearby objects, which is often accompanied by headaches, a feeling of blurring, fatigue and effort to read. This is why you subconsciously feel the need to keep your smartphone or book out of sight in order to read the fine print.



In short, it is not the hand that has been shortened, but the eyes that have difficulty noticing details that previously seemed reasonable in size. And it turns out that precisely in the age of screens, when you spend most of the day in front of the computer and smartphone, the difficulty of moving from near to far is noticeably noticeable.



"A lot of young women and men deny the effort their vision takes around the age of 40. Eyeglass wearers have to deal with difficulty seeing whenever they are required to read. They remove their eyeglasses to read, move their hand away, enlarge a font. Because we are connected to screens all Today, our entire social life is in the palm of our hand and we consume information, work and spend time in front of screens - the need becomes increased and more frequent, "explains Yuval Tochschneider, M.Sc optometrist - a senior optometrist in the network.



There is no doubt that the changes in vision after the age of 40 are exhausting.

so what are we doing?

A new solution is currently being proposed.

Portifocal glasses.

Spectacles designed specifically for girls and 40-year-olds who are considering switching from eyeglasses for the first time to multifocal glasses - which are glasses with lenses with multiple focal lengths, for distance vision from distance to close without the need to remove a replacement or wear reading glasses.

Portifocal - not difficult to adapt

If you wear glasses, and you are about to cross or have already crossed the age of 40 - welcome to the club you did not choose to belong to. In other words: it's time to stop denying. You probably need new or different glasses. You can, of course, stretch the hand holding the book, or change the settings of the smartphone or computer, but this is a temporary and not necessarily effective solution. And this is because apart from the difficulty of seeing closely, presbyopia is manifested by difficulty in reading in low light, and as mentioned, also in exertion, increased fatigue and headaches, which can interfere with work and leisure.



"When the denial phase is over - there are barriers, a natural procrastination to get used to something different, a feeling that" this multifocal is for the elderly "and" what for me and this ". "Glasses that are especially suitable for young people, who are just beginning to feel visually impaired and experience presbyopia at the beginning of their journey," says Tochschneider.



Portofocal glasses are an innovative product designed just for those who are considering switching to their first multifocal glasses, and they are changing the rules of the game. Portfolio glasses are comfortable and easy to adjust thanks to the innovation in the lenses they bring. SMART ZOOM lenses from Seiko Germany are unique lenses that are a technological breakthrough.



SMART ZOOM lenses are what is called in professional parlance library lenses. These are lenses with varying curves in length unlike regular lenses in which the curvature is permanent. Thanks to the changing curves, aspherical lenses are thinner and flatter than regular lenses. The special thing about the SMART ZOOM lenses is that they are designed to address all those who have eyeglasses and are now in their 40s need an initial correction for reading (up to numbers of +1.25 extra for reading). The lenses allow easy and quick adjustment thanks to a wide lens center that allows easy passage and sharp vision between the focal points, and the reading area is relatively large compared to standard multifocal lenses - allowing for comfortable reading, full sharpness and a wide field of view.



Equally important - the SMART ZOOM lenses are relatively thin, they have no external markers that indicate that they are multifocal.

So also in terms of look - they are especially suitable for young people.

The lenses

The financial outlay involved in switching to portfolio glasses is also significantly lower.

The glasses are now sold at a special launch price of NIS 799, including a frame.

Simply put, Portifocal glasses provide an optimal and convenient solution and eliminate all the excuses why to delay the transition to multifocal glasses.
