How to Improve Night Vision: Our Top Tips to Try

As a kid, I remember wanting to be like Superman. Ah, to be faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive. But the one superpower I really wish I had now is night vision!

If you’re over 40, there’s a good chance you know exactly what I’m talking about. As we age, and especially after 40, the lenses in our eyes start to change, which affects our ability to see clearly, especially at night. In fact, people in their 50s generally require twice as much light to see well in the dark as someone in their 30s, according to the National Safety Council.

Contacts for Reading: How to Tackle Presbyopia and Improve Vision

Remember the first time you put your contact lenses in? Ahh… love at first sight, right? You could suddenly see fabulously and felt great about not having to depend on glasses. But something’s changed, that is, your vision. Your contact lenses no longer provide the correction you need to clearly see objects both near and far. Chances are, you’re now dealing with presbyopia, and what you really need are contacts for reading.

Presbyopia is a declining ability to focus on close-up objects. When trying to read something with small type—say a restaurant menu, food package, or phone—you begin by stretching your arm further away to focus.

Presbyopia is an inevitable (but unenviable) change you’re bound to begin noticing sometime in your 40s.

Not so long ago, you had only one option to correct the problem: reading glasses. Today, you do have options. So, if you favor contacts, you need not get discouraged and trade them in for glasses.

Today, a range of contact lens options is available that deliver vision correction for different focal lengths.
