Presbyopia

Are you having trouble reading your phone or books? Do you need reading glasses for seeing small type and objects that are close at hand? If so, you’re not alone! Presbyopia affects nearly half of the adult population over the age of 40.

Fortunately, there is hope, and Vision for Life offers a range of phenomenal presbyopia surgery and treatment solutions that will enable you to have improved near vision, including:

Presbyopia Correcting Implants

Vision for Life is a leader in lens replacement surgeries for patients suffering from presbyopia. Presbyopia correcting IOL implants correct nearsightedness or farsightedness by replacing the eye’s natural lens with an intraocular lens (IOL) implant. This new lens will dramatically change your life for the better by permanently improving your ability to see without the need for reading glasses or contacts.

Below are some common questions and answers regarding presbyopia correcting implants.

Rid yourself of reading glasses and improve your near vision back to what it used to be. Presbyopia correcting implants could be right for you if you find yourself reaching for your reading glasses more and more often. If you have noticed a decline in your near vision sharpness, this is probably due to dysfunctional lens syndrome, of which presbyopia is a part. If your ability to focus on close at hand details, such as text or small objects, is degraded once you pass the age of 45, then you may be in the first stage of presbyopia. 

Presbyopia-correcting lens implants have improved significantly over the past decade, and these premium lens implants may offer a significant advantage over conventional solutions. The variety of options available for the surgical correction of presbyopia with a presbyopia correcting implant continues to expand, which is changing your options when it comes to correcting presbyopia, making it a lot easier to come up with the best solution for you. Why not find out if there is a presbyopia correcting implant solution that is right for you by contacting us now to set up your consultation.

Beginning around age 43, and continuing until age 50, your lenses gradually lose some of their ability to focus, as they become stiffer and less flexible. Presbyopia is part of dysfunctional lens syndrome, which has two more stages, and in stage 2, which occurs during your 50s and 60s, your lenses can have a tendency to turn yellow and hazy, and you may begin to experience night vision problems. Finally, in your 70s, you may experience true cataract formation. If you’re a candidate for presbyopia correcting implants, then Dr. Horn can help you maintain your vision for life, so that presbyopia isn’t holding you back any longer.

The options for the surgical correction of presbyopia with presbyopia correcting implants continue to expand, and your procedure will be a quick and painless treatment with almost immediate results. At the outset of your treatment, a numbing anesthetic is dropped into your eye with eyedrops to assure your comfort. Then the implant device will be inserted into your cornea where a pocket has been created. Then your eyes will be bandaged, and you will be able to return home with almost immediately improved vision. We will provide you with specific post treatment instructions, and a follow-up appointment will be scheduled for a few days later.

Do you still have questions about Presbyopia? If so, please read below.

Presbyopia, or age-related blurry near vision, is a common, progressive condition that reduces the eye’s ability to focus on near objects and affects nearly half of the U.S. adult population, usually over age 40. As we age, our eyes naturally lose the ability to focus on small type or objects that are close at hand to us. This difficulty in viewing objects that are close to us is called presbyopia. While reading glasses can make it possible to solve this problem, they are often annoying and distracting, and they make life more complicated than it needs to be.

Because presbyopia is a progressive condition that starts in your early to mid-forties, and then continues for the next several decades, it’s important to know that there are options. You don’t have to be condemned to a life of being chained to your reading glasses, as presbyopia surgery can free you to lead a better quality of life, with great up-close vision. Now, thanks to a range of new innovative solutions, such as the revolutionary Vuity eye drops and presbyopia correcting implants, there is a simple solution for you. With presbyopia surgery and treatment, there is a solution to near vision acuity problems that plague those patients who want to be free from reading glasses, so you can see close up again.

Did you know that over 114 million Americans are impacted by presbyopia? You are not alone. It’s completely natural for your eyes to adjust as you age, as presbyopia is a long-term progressive condition that can begin in your early to mid-forties and persist until your seventies, as your lenses become more rigid, and less flexible, making it difficult to focus on small objects that are close by. If you want to take permanent action to address this problem of near vision acuity, then you may be a candidate for presbyopia surgery.

If you’re ready to be cured of presbyopia and ready to be rid of your glasses or contacts please schedule a consultation today!
