Presbyopia Diagnosis & Treatment
As you step into your forties and beyond, the struggle intensifies: the frustration of blurred text, the inconvenience of ever-multiplying reading glasses, and the constant battle against strained eyes. If you struggle with these, presbyopia may already be hunting you. Discover how it’s being diagnosed and treated and how King & Rose Optical is dedicated to restoring the crisp focus you long for, and breaking the shackles that presbyopia seeks to bind us with.
What Is Presbyopia?
- Entirely Natural
- Age-Related Condition
- Unfolds Gradually
This change affects our capacity to focus on objects located up close. It occurs due to the diminishment of flexibility in the lens of our eye, causing our struggle to perceive nearby objects with clarity.
Did you know that as individuals approach the age of 50, nearly everyone undergoes some measure of presbyopia? Although this condition is part of the natural aging process, at King and Rose Optical, we are here to facilitate your diagnosis and treatment for it.
Presbyopia Diagnosis: Signs & Symptoms
There are various signs of presbyopia that can be very visible on our end that we can take as motivation to seek medical assistance in diagnosing.
1) Do you need to hold material away from your eyes,at least an arm-length, just to read the contents of it?
2) After long, close up work, do you suffer from headaches and eye strain?
3) Do you need more light to have a good read on the material?
4) When you read a material at normal distance, do you experience blurred vision?
Surprisingly, over 1 billion individuals in the world contend with the signs and symptoms of presbyopia. These prevailing indicators can cause frustration and discomfort among us, particularly when engaging in activities like reading, using digital devices, or executing intricate tasks.
Presbyopia Treatment
The uplifting news for us is that presbyopia is remarkably treatable, with an array of options that harmonize with your lifestyle and needs.
One notably effective remedy involves the use of multifocal and bifocal lenses, capable of remarkably enhancing both your close and distance vision. These innovative lenses, which can also be in the form of glasses, amalgamate diverse prescription strengths, executing a seamless transition between some distinct focal conditions in our eyes. Studies have ascertained that multifocal lenses can substantially enrich the overall quality of our life.
Multifocal & Bifocal Lenses
The use of multifocal and bifocal lenses marks a memorable stride in eyewear technology. This new technology imparts lucid vision at varying distances, elevating your visual experience and holistic comfort.
Bifocals have distinct segments for near and far vision, requiring our eyes to adjust between them.
Multifocals, on the other hand, blend multiple prescriptions into a single lens, allowing for a more natural shift in our focus between different distances without the need for distinct segments.
Surgery for Presbyopia
For those seeking a more enduring solution, surgical avenues can be the hope. Procedures like monovision LASIK or refractive lens exchange can rectify presbyopia by improving the focusing prowess of your eyes. Monovision LASIK entails correcting one eye for distance vision and the other for near vision.
Refractive lens exchange involves substituting our eye’s natural lens with an artificial visual lens that augments focusing ability. Interestingly, the realm of LASIK witnesses over 2 million procedures globally on an annual basis.
