How to Address Blurred Vision Caused by Presbyopia
Overview
New surgical techniques offer hope for those who prefer not to rely on eyeglasses or contact lenses to manage presbyopia.
Understanding Presbyopia
Presbyopia, often referred to as short arm syndrome, is a common vision impairment that typically begins in middle age. It occurs when the eye's natural lens loses its ability to adjust its focus on nearby objects, leading to blurred vision during activities like reading or sewing. This condition generally starts to affect individuals in their 40s.
Unlike other vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism?"which are related to the shape of the eye or cornea and often have genetic causes?"presbyopia is an age-related issue. It arises from the gradual stiffening of the eye's lens, reducing its elasticity and ability to focus on close objects.
Managing Presbyopia
While presbyopia cannot be completely cured, its effects can be managed using eyeglasses or contact lenses. Many opt for bifocal or progressive lenses as their vision adjustments become necessary. An alternative method is monovision, which involves correcting one eye for near vision and the other for distance vision. However, this can affect depth perception, and not everyone may find it suitable.
Surgical Options
For those seeking alternatives to glasses, LASIK surgery can create monovision. It is advisable to first try monovision with contact lenses to ensure you can adapt to the change. Another surgical procedure is conductive keratoplasty (CK), which was approved by the FDA in March 2004.
Future Prospects
Ongoing research suggests promising advancements toward a potential cure for presbyopia. Innovative surgeries aim to provide solutions for those who prefer not to depend on glasses or contacts as they deal with this age-related vision change.
