Presbyopia Treatment

Presbyopia treatment abroad

Presbyopia is an ophthalmologic condition caused by the natural consequences of aging, where the eye progressively loses the ability to change focus and clearly see nearby objects. The name presbyopia comes from two Greek words - presbys, meaning "elder"and ops meaning "eye".

Presbyopia is often thought to be the same as being farsighted, but the two conditions are separate, and have different underlying causes. Farsightedness is caused by the shape of the eyeball itself, which causes light to bend incorrectly as it enters the eye, leading to vision being out of focus. Presbyopia is caused by the lens of the eye losing flexibility and becoming less elastic.

Changes in the curvature of the lens and decreased strength of the ciliary muscles that bend and straighten it may also be a factor. Presbyopia symptoms include: finding it difficult to read small text, eyestrain when reading for a long time, headaches and fatigue, andifficulty in low light conditions.
