As the human body ages, changes in vision will occur. The most common condition associated with the aging process is presbyopia, which is Greek for ‘ageing eye’. This occurs when the lens inside the eye which focuses close objects becomes less flexible, which causes blurred vision.
Presbyopia
People with this condition may experience tired eyes when reading in poor lighting or at the end of the day, have trouble changing focus from distance to near, or feel the need to constantly reposition reading material to find the right focus. Until now, reading glasses was the only cure for this condition.
Prior to becoming presbyopic, longsighted people were able to bring things into focus at any distance. Then, after about the age of 40 longsighted people often lose both distance and near vision at the same time because their eyes cannot compensate any longer
Options for Presbyopes
Presbyopia has been traditionally treated with reading glasses, bifocals, or contact lenses. But now there is CK (Conductive Keratoplasty), a minimally invasive procedure developed specifically for presbyopic patients who need near vision improvement.
CK is an uncomplicated procedure and performed in just 3 minutes.
