What is Presbyopia?
Around the age of 40, people lose the ability to focus on close objects. The lens in the eye loses its elasticity with age and is unable to automatically "zoom in" on close objects. This is called Presbyopia.

Treating Presbyopia
Bifocals and reading glasses are used by most to see close objects.
Full Focus® Vision Correction can eliminate the need for bifocals and allow vision at near, intermediate and far distances.
LASIK surgery can reduce or eliminate the need for bifocals or reading glasses using a procedure called Monovision. Monovision corrects one eye for near vision and the other for distance. The brain can concentrate on the near eye for close objects and the distance eye when looking far away.
You can “test drive” monovision by using one contact lens provided at a LASIK evaluation before having the procedure.
