Dr Jørn Slot Jørgensen explains why presbyopia occurs, why it affects everyone as we age, and how modern laser eye treatments like PRESBYOND® can help patients reduce their dependence on reading glasses.
Presbyopia is a completely natural part of ageing that affects everyone sooner or later. Many people first notice it when reading small text becomes more difficult, menus need to be held further away, or reading glasses suddenly become part of everyday life. This gradual change happens because the eye’s natural focusing system becomes less flexible over time.
For many people in London and across the UK, presbyopia can feel frustrating, especially for those who have previously enjoyed clear vision without glasses. As modern lifestyles rely heavily on screens, reading and close-up work, the loss of near vision can quickly start to impact daily activities.
Fortunately, advances in laser eye surgery have created new ways to address this age-related change in vision. Treatments such as PRESBYOND® laser eye surgery are designed specifically to help people regain a comfortable range of vision for everyday life.
