What Exactly Is Presbyopia?

If you notice a loss of near vision, then you are probably experiencing presbyopia. Multifocal contact lenses may be exactly what you are looking for! You will be able to enjoy the advantages of contacts, and ditch your reading glasses when reading or writing.

Eye Focus on Vision

We offer comprehensive medical eye exams performed with the most up-to-date equipment. Our practice has over 75 combined years of experience and continues to provide the best quality, care, and customer service to every one of our patients.

How is Glaucoma Treated?

Early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma can often mean the difference between vision and blindness. If you are diagnosed with glaucoma the goal is to prevent loss of vision. At Eyes On 40, our eye doctors offer numerous treatment options for glaucoma.

Every detail of my experience was exemplary. The eye exam was thorough. The doctor took time to answer every question I had. I did not feel rushed along. When I was choosing new frames, the employee took plenty of time with me and made several excellent suggestions (I purchased one of his recommended. When stuck between two choices, several other employees came offer to offer their opinion) I also ordered new lenses for my sunglasses & a spare pair. Another positive is that my new glasses & lenses were ready when promised - ten days. It only took about an hour to cut & insert the lenses into my other frames. I want to to lunch while this was happening & they phoned me when everything was ready! I’ve never had such a positive experience with an eye experience with an eye exam & eyeglass purchase. ——And I’ve had many!

Very friendly and professional staff! I find that Dr Bender is extremely thorough and her exams are very helpful! I moved to Delaware a few years ago and I continue to return to this office each year because of their reputation and relationship that we have with this practice.
