Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss. It causes the central area of the retina to deteriorate, which is responsible for our ability to read, see, drive and perform other daily visual tasks. If you feel that your ability to clearly see is deteriorating as the years go by, you might need to get glasses.
Presbyopia is an age-related condition with symptoms beginning around the age of 40. It’s defined as the gradual loss in the eye’s ability to focus on nearby objects. As you get older, you will often start to notice your eyes feel tired and your vision becomes less sharp. For this specific eye problem, there is a perfect solution: progressive lenses. Progressive glasses have lenses with a lot of different prescriptions built in-one, offering a smooth transition, so there are no visible lines in your lenses. Progressive lenses are now the more popular eyewear compared to bifocal glasses. Bifocal glasses are similar in that they provide two different built-in prescriptions, but they don’t offer a smooth transition. A modern twist on bifocals, Progressive lenses are the most up-to-date eyewear to help treat vision problems. If you want to learn more about progressive lenses, you can read our articles on progressive glasses in our Optical Centre.
Another solution for presbyopia is reading glasses. A pocket-friendly alternative to these are folding reading glasses.

zFORT™ Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Blue light is a potentially harmful form of light. While it is naturally emitted by the sun, electronic devices (upon which we’re spending more and more time every day) are also high-level producers. Blue light rays at a wavelength between 415nm – 455nm can damage your retinal cells, which may lead to premature eye ageing and vision problems in the future.
Our exposure to these harmful light rays may also cause a range of other health problems, including poor sleep (according to a 2012 Harvard Medical School study). Find out more about how to protect your eyes from blue light with anti-blue light glasses from zFORT™.
You can enjoy free shipping, 100-day returns and a 2-year warranty, plus the best price guarantee when you shop with us.
