Normal Vision

With normal vision, the light passes through your cornea and bends perfectly onto a focal point on the retina.

That results in a near perfect acuity at both distance and near, until the lens inside the eye ages to the point where presbyopia symptoms appear.

 

Nearsightedness | Myopia

Also known as nearsightedness, myopia is when distant objects appear blurry. The condition is inherited and usually discovered in childhood. As a person ages, myopia can progress, requiring a stronger prescription to correct vision.

We can treat nearsightedness with:

Presbyopia

Presbyopia is the ageing of the lens in the eye, which can make reading more difficult. This usually occurs in people over the age of 40.

We can treat presbyopia with

  1. Reading glasses
  2. Monovision contact lenses
  3. Progressive lenses (bifocals or varifocals)
  4. Surgical correction (Inlays and lens implants)
  5. RainDrop
  6. Laser Blended Vision
