They combine state-of-the-art equipment with extraordinary experience and expertise to give Kansas City presbyopia patients customized care.
What is Presbyopia?
Presbyopia is part of the natural aging process. It develops when the natural crystalline lens inside a person's eye loses elasticity and stiffens the focusing reflex. This makes it difficult to adjust the focus from far away to close objects or anywhere in between. Focusing may slow down or just be impossible. Sometimes presbyopia patients feel like the vision gets "stuck", particularly while trying to read at a closer distance. Most people in their 40s or 50s experience blurred vision due to presbyopia even if they never had vision problems in the past.
Presbyopia Symptoms
You may have presbyopia if you:
- Have difficulty reading fine print
- Suffer from eyestrain after prolonged reading periods
- Experience blurred vision while transitioning from objects at different distances
- Have difficulty focusing in low light conditions
Presbyopia affects nearly every person at some point during their lifetime. However, this condition can be treated successfully with eyeglasses, contact lenses or IOLs.
Presbyopia Treatment at Perfect Sense Complete Eye Care
Perfect Sense Complete Eye Care offers the latest in presbyopia treatments. Bifocal, trifocal or "no-line" progressive lenses are frequently used in eyeglasses to successfully compensate for presbyopia. Similarly, contact lenses are effective in many patients. For a more permanent correction, patients can choose refractive lens exchange (RLE) where the surgeon is able to replace the ineffective, aging natural lens with a new, intraocular lens (IOL), which restores focusing and allows patients to see clearly up close, far away and in between. Perfect Sense uses the Crystalens HD, ReSTOR +3 and Tecnis Multifocal IOLs for this purpose. More than 95 percent of our Kansas City and St. Joseph presbyopia patients show improvement in their vision with these state-of-the-art IOLs.
