For Those Over 40...
No matter how great your vision was before, as you approach your 40s, it's natural for your eyes to start ageing.
At this stage, you may begin to face some common challenges:
1. Holding Reading Material Further Away
You may notice that reading up close isn't as easy as it used to be, especially with small print. You have to stretch your arms out to read things clearly.
2. Removing Glasses to See Up Close (for those who are nearsighted)
It's becoming harder to read up close while wearing your usual glasses, and taking them off has started to feel necessary.
3. Confusion Over Choosing Reading Glasses or Multifocals
You're experiencing early signs of eye ageing and are unsure whether to get standard reading glasses or multifocal lenses.
4. Doubt About Multifocals Being Right for You
Maybe you've seen friends wearing multifocal, but you're worried they might not suit you.
5. Discomfort with Multifocals
You may have even tried multifocal lenses, only to find them uncomfortable.
You're not alone! Most middle-aged folks experience these same frustrations.
If any of these situations sound familiar, the following information could benefit you.
Hi, I'm Kenny
I've been in the optical field for 40 years and founded Sightcare in 1999, Malaysia's first eyewear image speciality store.
I'm certified by the Malaysian Ministry of Health (MOC) and a Certified Image Consultant by Lincoln University -specializing in facial analysis.
In 2023, I was honoured to be the image consultant for the Mrs. Malaysia Globe pageant.
About Multifocal Lenses
From my years of experience, many people choose multifocal based on friends' recommendations or flashy ads without genuinely assessing whether they're a good fit.
Here's a Real Case That Might Help You Understand Better:
A long-time customer brought her sister, Mellisa, to see me a few months ago.
Mellisa recently bought a pair of multifocal glasses from another shop, which caused her dizziness and discomfort.
Even after the shop replaced the lenses, she still felt off.
During my assessment with her, several vital factors stood out:
1. Previous Glasses Habits
Mellisa rarely wore glasses before, even sunglasses, so wearing multifocal with frequent switching between near and far vision felt unnatural to her.
2. Physical Condition
She mentioned having an inner ear imbalance, making her prone to dizziness—a condition that multifocal can exacerbate.
3. Personality Insight
In our personality analysis, I found her to be a "high C" type (based on the DISC personality model)—extremely meticulous with high standards, particularly about comfort.
Based on these points, I realized her difficulty with multifocal came down to three factors:
Vision Habits: Mellisa's distance vision had always been strong, and adjusting to multifocal' near-far switching caused discomfort.
Physical Condition: Her inner ear imbalance made her more prone to dizziness, worsened by multifocal' visual shifts.
Personal Needs: Her perfectionism made it hard to accept the slight adjustment period that multifocal requires. Instead of multifocal, I recommended a more straightforward, single-vision pair for her work and reading needs.
This approach met her expectations for comfort and was easier for her to adapt to.
Understanding Your Needs
Mellisa's story isn't meant to discourage you from considering multifocal but rather to encourage you to understand your needs before choosing lenses to avoid unnecessary expenses.
As a professional, my responsibility is to help you find the most suitable vision solution—not to push a product.
