Presbyopia Surgery
Presbyopia Correction
Presbyopia is a normal age-related eye condition that affects everyone over the age of 40 and results in progressive difficulty focusing on near objects, like reading, using your cell phone and computer work. Although reading glasses can correct the problem, most people find it frustrating to have to pull out a pair of spectacles whenever they want to look at something close-up. Fortunately there are a few surgical options that can help improve the situation.
Presby Lasik
Conventional Lasik procedures reshape the eye's surface so it can focus better at either a near or far range, depending on whether you are farsighted or nearsighted. Sophisticated technology now enables multiple or progressive zones to be incorporated by reshaping the cornea into precise contours that alter the way light rays enter the eye to achieve focus. Presby-Lasik creates a multifocal cornea and is an attractive option to make you less dependant on reading glasses.
Flexivue Corneal Inlay
The Flexivue micro-lens implant procedure is safe, effective and reversible and is suitable for presbyopic patients with good distance vision, but poor near vision, between the ages of 45 and 60. The tiny lens is implanted in the non-dominant eye into a corneal pocket created by a Femtosecond laser. Most patients report improvement in their vision almost immediately and most resume their normal activities within a day or two.
Multifocal Intra-Ocular Lenses
Multifocal IOL's are becoming increasingly popular for use during cataract surgery. It allows most patients to be independent of spectacles for distance, near and intermediate vision.
Accommodative Intra-Ocular Lenses:
The Crystalens accommodative IOL enables patients to regain full range of vision, flexing like the eye’s natural lens, to allow short, middle and distance sight. It is used during cataract surgery to replace the natural crystalline lens of the eye.
