What are LASIK effects on Presbyopia?
Even if you undergo LASIK when young and achieve perfect vision, you may still develop a condition called ‘presbyopia’ usually beginning between the ages of 40 and 50. Presbyopia is the inability of the eye to focus on close objects because the lens loses elasticity with age. Bifocals and reading glasses are used to see close objects. LASIK surgery can reduce or eliminate the need for bifocals or reading glasses using a procedure called Monovision. Monovision corrects one eye for near vision and the other for distance. The brain can concentrate on the near eye for close objects and the distance eye when looking far away. Monovision and LASIK One way to deal with presbyopia is by producing monovision. Normally, both your eyes work together equally when you look at an object, to produce what’s called binocular vision. However, you probably have a dominant eye that your brain tends to favour (most right-handed people are right-eye dominant, for example). Contact lens fitters often take ad
