DIAGNOSIS
Presbyopia can be detected with a comprehensive eye exam that includes a refraction assessment and an eye medical check. Moreover, if you have nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia, a refraction exam may help you figure out.
Additionally, to evaluate your distant and close-up vision, your doctor may use a variety of equipment and ask you to gaze through different lenses.
Furthermore, you will be given drops to dilate your pupils during your eye test. Your eyes may become more light-sensitive after the exam. Dilation allows your doctor to see the interior of your eyes more clearly.
TREATMENT
The treatment’s aim is to compensate for your eyes’ incapacity to concentrate on close things. These may include:
- Eyeglasses. This is an easy and safe method to address presbyopia-related vision issues.
- Contact lenses. For individuals without spectacles, it is an option. However, if you have problems with your eyelids, tear ducts, or eye surfaces, such as dry eye, this choice may not be right for you.
- Refractive surgery. Close-up vision in your nondominant eye may be improved with this therapy.
- Lens implants. An artificial lens is implanted in each eye instead of the natural lens.
- Corneal inlays. In one eye, a tiny plastic ring with a hole in the center is implanted.
