Sleep and subjective happiness between the ages 40 and 59 in relation to presbyopia and dry eye.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to explore the status of quality of life between the ages 40-59 in relation to presbyopia and dry eye.

Methods

Near add power and preferred contact lens power were examined in 219 participants at three clinics. 2000 participants completed a web-based survey on presbyopic symptoms, symptomatic dry eye, sleep quality, and subjective happiness.

Results

Mean preferred corrected visual acuity was less than 20/20 in women (vs men, P<0.01) who were more often prescribed under-corrected contact lenses, whereas men preferred full correction. According to the annual progression rate of near add power in men (0.1468D/year), the estimated difference in presbyopia progression between men and women was 0.75 years in the right eye, and 1.69 years in
