About Presbyopia

What Is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is a natural part of aging, and usually starts to occur as you enter your mid 40s. Presbyopia is the gradual loss of your eyes’ ability to focus on nearby objects. It’s a natural, but annoying part of aging.

What Causes Presbyopia?

As we age, your eye’s natural lens looses elasticity so you cannot focus at near as well as when you were younger.

The Options

What are my options to correct my vision?

  • RLE

    This is the best option. RLE surgery consists of taking the natural lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. You will never develop cataracts.
