Over 40 Vision Correction

If you are over the age of 40,

You’ve probably noticed your vision is changing. And not for the better! Maybe you have trouble reading the text on your phone, restaurant menus, food labels or even your book or tablet when you never had any trouble before.

It is around this same time that many people begin to purchase and wear those store-bought reading glasses. Sound familiar? A pair on your desk at work, a pair on your nightstand, in your car, your purse, next to the TV remote.

This all too common condition is called Presbyopia or Over-40 Vision. And you can’t escape it – even if you’ve never had vision issues before.

Presby-what?!

This age-related vision condition reduces the ability of the eye to focus on near objects. It occurs when the crystalline lens inside your eye slowly loses its flexibility, making it difficult to focus up close.

Diminished reading vision cannot be prevented with diet or lifestyle changes. Since it is age-related, we can all look forward to dealing with it at some stage.

What are the Symptoms?

Blurry near vision beginning around age 40
Difficulty with focus when switching from distance to near vision
Headaches (especially when doing near vision work like working on a computer)
Eye strain and visual fatigue

How is it Diagnosed?

An assessment of your reading vision is part of every comprehensive eye examination. At Mann Eye Institute, a comprehensive eye exam includes tests to evaluate your eyes for the presence of diseases and for vision disorders including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and yes, the dreaded presbyopia. Your pupils will also be dilated to allow your doctor to better examine the inside of your eye.

Over 40 Vision Correction Options

Are you tired of fumbling around for your reading glasses every time you want to read a menu or send a text? If you are over the age of 40 and are beginning to struggle with your near vision, you now have more options than ever to correct your reading vision at Mann Eye Institute!

Mann Eye Institute is here with a range of advanced vision correction options tailored just for you. Our highly skilled team is ready to guide you through the latest advancements in near vision correction. From advanced LASIK techniques to multifocal lens options, Mann Eye has the solutions to help you see clearly and comfortably at any distance.

Blended LASIK is one of the most effective vision correction treatments we offer patients over 40. This customized laser eye surgery can allow you to have greater visual freedom.

For LASIK, the dominant eye receives full-distance vision correction via wavefront-optimized LASIK to resolve nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The non-dominant eye receives treatment targeting slightly reduced distance vision but excellent near vision without glasses.

The brain blends the difference between each eye, allowing good vision at all ranges. Blended LASIK offers safe, effective presbyopia and distance vision correction for patients over 40.

With Custom Lens Replacement (CLR), sometimes called Clear Lens Exchange, the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens to improve vision. This is done in a comfortable, outpatient setting. Depending on the Active Life Lens you choose, Custom Lens Replacement could effectively reduce your daily dependency on glasses, contacts and even reading glasses. Because the lens in your eye is replaced with an artificial lens to improve vision, Custom Lens Replacement corrects your vision issue and it removes the possibility of cataracts in the future. With a variety of Active Life Lenses to choose from, we can customize each procedure to your individual vision goals and lifestyle.

The EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) represents a revolutionary advancement in vision correction technology, offering an alternative to traditional glasses, contact lenses, and even LASIK surgery. What distinguishes the EVO ICL from traditional ICLs is its innovative design that refracts light more precisely, resulting in sharper vision with reduced glare and halos, even in low-light conditions.

This artificial lens provides superior vision correction for those with moderate to high nearsightedness, with or without astigmatism and recovery from EVO ICL surgery is remarkably swift. The procedure is also completely reversible, as the lens can be removed if necessary, making it an ideal alternative option for vision correction candidates with stable vision and healthy eyes for who LASIK may not be the right option. Most individuals can resume normal activities within days of this life-changing procedure, enjoying clear, natural vision without the daily hassles of glasses or contacts. It’s a permanent solution that provides freedom and confidence for years to come.
