CAUSE OF PRESBYOPIA Presbyopia is a vision defect that occurs when the lens becomes less flexible and elastic. It belongs to the natural aging of the eye. Everyone suffers from presbyopia sooner or later. The ability to focus closely is impaired. Objects at a distance also become blurred when your presbyopia worsens. Hyperopia also results in poorer vision at close range, but it is caused by refractive errors. CORRECTION OF PRESBYOPIA WITH GLASSES Läsglasögon kan användas för god syn på nära håll. Två par olika glasögon kan behövas för ålderssynthet – ett par för god syn på nära håll, och ett annat för avstånd. Multifokalglas ger klar syn på olika avstånd, vilket kan vara mer praktiskt. Dubbelslipade glasögon (bifokala) har två skarpt åtskilda optiska zoner med överdelen för god syn på avstånd, och underdelen för nära håll. Progressiva glasögon kan ge ökad komfort med steglös variation i styrka från god syn på avstånd till nära håll. MONOVISION You can have medical conditions for eye lasers with the Monovision method if you have incipient presbyopia. You must first try two contact lenses for a period of time with different intensity on each eye for good vision at close range and distance. Your optician can help you with monovision lenses. Once it has worked with monovision lenses, you are ready for your preliminary examination with us for eye lasers with Monovision, which is a permanent solution. Eye laser treatment is only possible for age-related vision defects at an early stage.
