The word “presbyopia” comes from the Greek and means “elder eye”. Presbyopia is the vision condition where as we age the crystalline lens of the eye loses its flexibility making it difficult to focus up close. After age 40, people begin to experience blurred vision at near points such as when reading or working on a computer. This happens to everyone when they age, even those individuals who have never had a prior vision problem. A common way to address this problem is by wearing bifocal or progressive spectacles. Surgical treatment involves implantation of multifocal lenses. Some patients may be suitable for PresbyLASIK. Dr Khng will be able to assess your suitability for any of thiese procedures.
