Everything you need to know about presbyopia

PRESBYOPIA

What is presbyopia?

Presbyopia is a natural aging process of the eye that begins around the age of 40. This phenomenon is not a disease but a natural and universal change that is, unfortunately, unavoidable.

The crystalline lens (the transparent lens inside the eye) gradually loses its elasticity over time, hardens and swells, losing its ability to bulge and accommodate. Near vision is then impaired.

Like a poorly focused camera lens, the eye has more difficulty adapting and achieving clear, precise vision at the usual reading distance, especially when the light is insufficient. As a result, presbyopia can cause eye strain and even headaches.

Who is affected by presbyopia?

Everyone is affected by presbyopia or will be from the age of 40. Presbyopia progresses rapidly between the onset of its effects and the age of 60, requiring regular changes in the strength of corrective lenses (known as diopters).

Presbyopia reaches its peak after the age of 65 and then stabilizes.

In figures, presbyopia means:

• 22 million people with presbyopia in France
• 160 million people with presbyopia in Europe
• 1.7 billion people with presbyopia worldwide
• 700,000 new people with presbyopia every year
• 2.5 billion people with presbyopia worldwide

The number of people with presbyopia is not about to decrease given the population’s ongoing aging.

What solutions are available for presbyopia?

When your vision becomes blurred and difficult:

- It is important to consult an ophthalmologist, who will perform a complete eye examination. They will identify your vision problems and prescribe the correction you need.
- There are several types of correction: single-vision lenses (reading glasses), progressive lenses and bifocal lenses.
- It is recommended to replace your glasses when they are no longer as effective or perfectly suited to your vision.
- You can opt for contact lenses or undergo laser surgery.
- The simplest and by far the most practical solution remains wearing reading glasses. K-EYES also offers a wide range of models and colors of glasses for people with presbyopia, available in the e-shop.
