About Presbyopia

A normal part of the aging process, presbyopia is a gradual loss of the eye's ability to adjust the focus. Presbyopia is due to the natural stiffening of the lens in the eye on near objects. This prevents the lens from changing focus so that one can clearly see both distance and near objects. Presbyopia usually begins to occur around the age of forty and it is commonly corrected by the use of reading glasses or bifocals. Patients with myopia or hyperopia should realize that even correcting myopia or hyperopia with Laser Vision Correction will not eliminate the potential need for reading glasses when reaching middle age. For those patients who absolutely do not wish to wear reading glasses as they get older, Lens Replacement Surgery, such as Crystalens Vision Correction, may be an option to discuss with the doctor at your Consultation.
