Experience clearer vision at all distances with advanced presbyopia treatments at Vantage Eye Consultants. Presbyopia, a condition that typically affects those over 40, causes difficulty reading up close, blurry near vision, and eye strain. Dr. Enoch Nam offers personalized solutions to help restore your focus and improve your quality of life.
Restore Optimal Vision at All Distances
Presbyopia is a natural age-related condition that affects the eye’s ability to focus on close objects, typically becoming noticeable around age 40. As the lens inside the eye becomes less flexible, it becomes harder to read fine print, use a smartphone, or perform tasks that require near vision. Symptoms often include blurry vision up close, eye strain, and headaches. If left untreated, presbyopia can significantly impact daily activities. Fortunately, effective treatments are available to restore clear vision at all distances.
Common Symptoms of Presbyopia:
- Blurry vision when reading up close
- Difficulty focusing on small text or fine details
- Frequent eye strain or fatigue
- Headaches from prolonged near work
- Holding reading materials farther away to see clearly
- Difficulty seeing clearly in dim light
- Needing more light to read or perform close tasks
How Do You Treat Presbyopia?
Dr. Nam will begin by diagnosing your presbyopia and assessing your vision needs and overall eye health. Based on this evaluation, he will curate a personalized treatment plan tailored to your lifestyle and preferences, which may include non-surgical solutions like reading glasses or contact lenses or more advanced treatments like refractive lens exchange. With refractive lens exchange, you can replace your natural lens with premium IOLs that restore clear vision at all distances and help you achieve nearly complete freedom from glasses.
Presbyopia FAQs
What Causes Presbyopia?
Presbyopia occurs as the natural lens inside the eye loses flexibility. This loss of flexibility makes it harder for the lens to change shape and focus on nearby objects. This is a normal part of aging, typically becoming noticeable around the age of 40, and affects everyone eventually. By age 50, the majority of people will experience difficulty reading up close.
Can Presbyopia Be Prevented?
Unfortunately, presbyopia cannot be prevented as it is a natural part of the aging process. However, maintaining overall eye health through regular eye exams, wearing UV-protective sunglasses, and living a healthy lifestyle may help slow the progression.
What Are the Treatment Options for Presbyopia?
There are several treatment options available for presbyopia. Non-surgical options include reading glasses, bifocals, and multifocal contact lenses. Surgical options, such as refractive lens exchange, can provide long-term solutions. Dr. Nam will discuss the best treatment for you based on your eye health, lifestyle, and goals.
Is Surgery a Good Option for Presbyopia?
Surgery may be an excellent option for patients seeking long-term solutions to presbyopia. Dr. Nam offers refractive lens exchange, a procedure that replaces the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This can provide freedom from glasses and improve vision at multiple distances, and it can also prevent the risk of cataract development.
