Presbyopia is a common visual difficulty experienced by individuals aged 40 and above, causing challenges in visualizing nearby objects while maintaining good distance vision. Fortunately, there are several effective treatments available that enable patients to regain approximately 98% of their near vision. One widely adopted treatment is known as Monovision.
Monovision involves surgically correcting one eye to optimize either near or distance vision, depending on the patient's specific needs. This approach targets the effects of presbyopia, where the eye's crystalline lens loses its ability to focus on close objects. Monovision can be achieved through various methods, including contact lenses, intraocular lenses, and laser treatments. The remarkable aspect is that the brain adapts to switch between near and far vision as required, allowing most individuals to adjust easily. Although some individuals may require more time to adapt, this technique offers the potential to minimize dependence on glasses for an extended period.
At the Dr. EUGENIO CABRERA Refractive Surgery Center, we provide a range of techniques that offer multiple treatment options tailored to meet each patient's immediate vision needs. Our goal is to offer personalized solutions for addressing presbyopia, ultimately enhancing visual clarity and eliminating the reliance on corrective eyewear.
Treatment with the monovision technique is safe and has been carried out worldwide for more than 10 years with results that prove its effectiveness.
It has been proven that patients manage to adapt to this type of treatment to focus on nearby objects, however there may be the slightest possibility that the patient does not adapt and must go back to the ophthalmologist to evaluate another alternative.
Definitely yes, daily activities help determine the ideal type of treatment, together with the ophthalmologist the needs of the patient and the appropriate treatment are evaluated.
