Surgeries for people from age 40-45 onwards
Surgeries for people from age 40-45 onwards
Physiological changes that come with age reduce accommodation (the ability to see clearly in the distance and close up) in all people from the age of 40-45. Therefore, from this age onwards, you will need reading glasses or varifocals. If you want to reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses and be able to see clearly in the distance and close up, there is the option to have a multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL or EDOF) implanted (inserted) in your eye. As well as cosmetic reasons, patients often give other grounds for wanting to eliminate their dependence on glasses, such as not being able to get on with varifocal glasses or finding they make them dizzy, intolerance of contact lenses, sport and various hobbies. Not having to rely on glasses enables people to lead a more mobile and active life (reading, using smartphones, driving, sport, computers, television), even at an advanced age.
In addition, because the optical system works better (improved image formation and quality on the retina), there is less risk of an accident (fall), due to poor vision or dizziness.
The objective of this type of operation to implant a special lens is a permanent improvement in vision. When you come to our practice, we will give you further details and information, because there are large differences between individuals. Even after surgery, wearing glasses can improve vision still further.
No-one can guarantee to end reliance on glasses 100% for all distances, because the human body is not a machine and various factors can influence the outcome. These operations aim to eliminate glasses for a variety of activities to improve quality of life.
