What changes have been made regarding presbyopic issues?

Presbyopic issues, or the nearsightedness, monovision, or farsightedness associated with normal aging has long been a vision problem that millions upon millions of people experience. It is not typically corrected with refractive surgery, and for all the individuals affected by presbyopic problems, they typically have to turn to over-the-counter or prescription glasses.

Now, refractive surgery may be a feasible option for those with presbyopic vision issues. A new nonlinear aspheric ablation profile in combination with myopia, hyperopia, and emmertropia may be an ideal situation for which to get refractive surgery. In other words, for those experiencing the common problems associated with age-related vision changes, refractive surgery may help to increase depth of vision field.

If you are experiencing age-related vision changes, and are not comfortable wearing glasses, consider researching refractive surgeons to see if they are capable of helping you. Not all surgeons are performing this surgery, but for those who are, they could have you seeing more clearly, and erasing the common vision problems associated with normal aging.
