Presbyopia is an important consideration when developing a personalised vision correction plan, particularly for patients approaching or beyond 45 years of age.
Options for presbyopia, to use reading glasses less include
- Hyperopic SMILE Pro with OcuLign (Minimally invasive no flap laser eye surgery): The least invasive vision correction technology for presbyopia involves creating a and very superficial 2mm short incision in the surface of your cornea and removing a very thin amount of cornea to correct astigmatism. Laser Vision SA was this first eye laser surgery practice in Adelaide to provide this latest technology
- LASIK (Laser Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis): This procedure involves creating a thin flap in the cornea, reshaping the underlying corneal tissue with a laser to correct the refractive error, and then repositioning the flap
- Clear lens extraction where the ageing zoom lens behind your pupil is replaced with a permanent artificial lens (IOL) that can give distance and intermediate vision (EDOF IOLs) or even near as well (trifocal IOL) in a procedure very similar to cataract surgery
