3 Top Treatment Options for Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a condition that occurs as a person ages, which causes the lens of the eye to become less elastic. This results in issues with near vision for people 40 years old and over, which can cause difficulties with simple everyday tasks like reading, writing, or working on a computer.

Here are 3 of the most common treatments for presbyopia correction:

3 Top Treatment Options for Presbyopia

1. Using eyeglasses to treat presbyopia

This is the simplest and most commonly prescribed treatment for presbyopia.

Bifocal Lenses

A bifocal lens offers two distinct sections in a single lens. The primary section helps correct for distance vision, while the secondary section, usually a much smaller section of the lens, allows for clear near-vision.

Progressive lenses

Progressive lenses function in a similar manner. However, instead of the distance and near vision sections being in distinct zones, they’re more blended. This offers a more seamless viewing experience, though it can sometimes take longer to get used to.

2. Contact lens

There are two common types of contact lenses when it comes to the treatment of presbyopia include:

Monovision contact lenses

It's come in different prescriptions for each eye; one eye is fitted with a lens for distance vision and one for near vision. This solution may not be for everyone, however, as it can sometimes take some time to get used to.

Multifocal contact lenses

Contact lenses designed to offer clear vision across distance, moderate and near vision. They come in various types, including soft disposable, rigid gas permeable, and hybrid contact lenses.

3. PRELEX (Presbyopia Lens Exchange)

It is a popular method of treating presbyopia today to improve vision without glasses. PRELEX replaces your eye’s natural lens using an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), which improves vision for better vision.
