I looked into the features of presbyopia correction surgery^^

Surgical methods to correct presbyopia

 

Presbyopia LASIK

Correction by cutting the cornea, like LASIK.

No progression of cataracts, suturing

Creating a cross-eyed appearance by focusing one eye on a nearby object and the other on a distant object

However, the disadvantage is that the middle distance is not visible.

Since presbyopia and cataracts progress even after surgery, cataract surgery may be needed several years later.

 

Cases where presbyopic laser surgery is not possible

In cases of thin corneas or existing conditions

High myopia

In case you have previously undergone LASIK or LASEK.

 

Presbyopic cataract surgery

Insertion of multifocal lenses for presbyopia correction

Cataracts progressing along with presbyopia

 

※ Precautions

Of course, since it requires a different technique from vision correction surgery, make sure to have the surgery performed by an ophthalmologist with extensive experience in presbyopic cataract surgery!!

 

Postoperative complications such as glare, light scattering, and blurred vision may occur due to surgical errors.

Caution should be exercised as there is a possibility of damage to the lens capsule, increased pressure, or conjunctival hemorrhage.

 

Multifocal lenses for presbyopia correction come in dozens of types, including 3-week, 4-zone, and continuous focus, so it is important to select the appropriate lens based on the patient's lifestyle patterns.

As I get older, I keep feeling cold.

I wear regular glasses, so I can see distant objects well, but I have to take off my glasses every time to see things up close.ㅠㅠ

Still young? I think I'm still young, but I keep becoming interested in presbyopia correction, so I looked into it^^
