What is Presbyopia and how can it be treated?
During middle age, usually beginning in the 40s, people experience blurred vision at near points, such as when reading, sewing or working at the computer. There’s no getting around it ã this happens to everyone at some point in life, even those who have never had a vision problem before. Currently an estimated 90 million people in the United States either have presbyopia or will develop it by 2014. This is generating a huge demand for eyewear, contact lenses, and surgery that can help presbyopes deal with their failing near vision. Presbyopia can be surgically treated with CK, Multifocal IOLs, and Accommodative (Crystalens) IOL.
