Presbyopia of the eye is an acquired disease. It appears in older people, and the gender of the person does not matter. It should be noted that with timely prevention, pathology may not occur at all. The disease presented is acquired farsightedness.
The causes of pathology may be different. Among them, one can note the constant load on the eyes, which contributes to the wear of the lens: it loses its elasticity and the tissues become denser. In principle, such changes are age-related, but they appear at different times. Presbyopia of the eyes has certain symptoms. The main symptom of the disease is the inability to see small objects normally. In order to better see the letters in a book or a small picture, you have to strain your eyes a lot.
If you have presbyopic eyes, you will notice that the image appears to have less contrast. That is, the letters begin to blur. The eyes are very tired, and a headache may appear. But if you move the book a certain distance, then all the details become clearly visible. The doctor must diagnose the pathology. In this case, your vision is not testedonly with the help of a table, but also with special equipment.
If the doctor has diagnosed presbyopia, treatment is carried out with the help of lenses or glasses. However, this method will help those who have not had vision problems before, otherwise such an adjustment may not help. For some patients, it is enough to wear glasses only when working with small details or when reading. Others need to wear them all the time. It should be noted that the pathology tends to progress, so glasses will have to be changed from time to time.
Presbyopia eyes cannot be cured this way, so some doctors recommend surgery. In this case, the best method is to replace the lens with an artificial implant. The operation is carried out in 20 minutes, and after it the patient can immediately go home. A person after the intervention immediately notices an improvement in vision. Glasses in this case are no longer needed. And the vision will remain good forever. This method is the most optimal and widespread in world practice.
In order to prevent presbyopia in both eyes from appearing for as long as possible, some preventive measures should be taken. For example, visit your doctor periodically so that he can notice changes in vision in time. In addition, perform special exercises for the eyes, try not to load them. Calculate the optimal mode of rest and nutrition. Also, try not to dry your eyes. If you work on a computer, be sure totake a break every 45 minutes. If necessary, use special drops that are similar to human tears.
The presented disease is age-related and appears in almost everyone. However, it depends only on you how far you can push the first manifestations of the pathology.
