Presbyopia
As we age, the lens of the eye loses its flexibility, impairing the eye’s ability to focus and eventually affecting near vision. Called presbyopia, this naturally occurring condition most commonly affects the reading vision of people over the age of 40. Many people find that the print is too small or “their arms are too short”!
LASIK is being studied to treat presbyopia (PresbyLASIK). LASIK is best reserved for those with myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. LASIK can be used to create monovision (one eye near, one far) to treat presbyopia.
