The condition

What is presbyopia?

Presbyopia (age-related farsightedness) is the progressive loss of the ability to focus up close, typically starting around the age of 40–45. It usually manifests as the need to hold text further away, eye fatigue, or increasing dependence on reading glasses.

There are different surgical strategies to improve vision at various distances. The key is choosing the right option for your eye and your lifestyle.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Will I be able to stop wearing glasses completely?

It depends on the strategy and the individual case. During the consultation, we explain realistic goals and possible trade-offs for each option.

Is presbyopia surgery the same as cataract surgery?

They are different procedures, although they may share intraocular technology. The indication depends on the condition of the lens and the visual goal.

How long is the recovery?

It varies depending on the technique used and each patient. That is why planned follow-up is an essential part of the process.
