Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a condition in the eye in that causes the crystalline lens to lose its flexibility and the ability to focus, which makes it difficult to see objects up close. Symptoms include eyestrain and headache, as well as the decreased ability to focus on close objects. The most common cause of presbyopia is associated with aging eyes, as people generally lose the elasticity of the lens, resulting in a slow decrease in the ability to focus on objects near the patient.
Presbyopia can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses, which typically affords the patient the ability to read and focus on closer objects.
What is monovision?
Monovision is a technique for correcting presbyopia in which only one eye is treated for near-vision correction. Within four to six weeks of the treatment, the brain automatically adjusts to the change and the eyes focus in concert without any blur. Contact lens patients have been treated successfully for more than 20 years with monovision. Monovision can be achieved with laser eye surgery.
