Are you over the age of 45 and need glasses to see up close for activities such as reading? This is called presbyopia and is a natural occurrence that happens to everyone when they reach their 40s. Traditional solutions for presbyopia include multifocal eyeglasses such as bifocals and trifocals, multifocal contact lenses and monovision contact lenses. Now there is a new solution for those seeking clear vision at all distances, both near and far. It is called PresbyLASIK.
PresbyLASIK is a highly specialize laser vision correction procedure which reshapes the surface of the cornea to create zones of vision (multifocality) that allow the eye to adjust for varying distances. The patient is then able to see clearly at all distances, near far and in-between.
Many people over 45 resort to contact lenses or glasses to correct presbyopia, but these forms of vision correction can cause distorted vision. PresbyLASIK provides multifocality of vision that is completely customized for each patient's individual needs.
While PresbyLASIK is presently an off label treatment, the data from patients from both in the United States and the rest of the world has shown this procedure to be successful and effective in the treatment of presbyopia. One day, reading glasses may become a thing of the past.
