What is presbyopia?<\/strong><\/p>\n Presbyopia is the progressive loss of the ability to focus on close objects, caused by a decrease in the elasticity of the crystalline lens, the eye\u2019s natural lens.<\/p>\n It usually begins to appear from the age of 40\u201345 and develops gradually.<\/p>\n It affects everyone, regardless of whether or not they have other visual impairments.<\/p>\n How does it manifest itself?<\/p>\n The most common symptoms are:<\/p>\n If you experience these signs, it is advisable to undergo a full eye examination.<\/p>\n Treatment for presbyopia<\/strong><\/p>\n There are now surgical solutions available that can effectively correct presbyopia, improving everyday vision.<\/p>\n These techniques also allow other refractive errors, such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness or astigmatism, to be corrected at the same time.<\/p>\n These are outpatient procedures with a quick recovery time and no need for hospitalisation.<\/p>\n Clear Lens Exchange (CLE)<\/strong><\/p>\n The most commonly used technique is clear lens exchange, which involves replacing the natural lens with an intraocular lens.<\/p>\n It is a procedure similar to cataract surgery, but performed on an elective basis to improve visual quality.<\/p>\n What does this procedure achieve?<\/strong><\/p>\n Intraocular lenses<\/strong><\/p>\n The choice of lens is crucial and is tailored to each patient\u2019s individual characteristics.<\/p>\n Multifocal and trifocal lenses<\/em><\/p>\n These provide functional vision at distance, intermediate and near ranges, helping patients to become less reliant on glasses.<\/p>\n Extended depth of focus (EDoF) lenses<\/em><\/p>\n These offer excellent visual quality at distance and intermediate ranges, with a smooth transition between distances.<\/p>\n At INOF, we carry out a comprehensive assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment for each case, taking into account the patient\u2019s visual needs and lifestyle.<\/p>\n If you have started to notice difficulty seeing up close or would like to explore the available options, you can book a consultation with our team.
