What to do if myopia and presbyopia occur_Can presbyopia be treated

Myopia is the most common vision problem. There is a saying that presbyopia can gradually improve myopia. In fact, this statement is incorrect. Myopia and presbyopia can exist at the same time and are prone to occur in middle-aged and elderly people. The impact caused can be imagined. In this case, it must be properly resolved as soon as possible. So, what should we do if we have myopia and presbyopia? Let’s take a look below.

The symptoms of presbyopia in myopic people are different from those of people with normal vision, so the glasses they need are also different in degree. Generally, people with normal vision start to suffer from presbyopia after the age of 40. By the age of 45, the presbyopia is generally 100-150 degrees, 200 degrees at the age of 50, 300 degrees at the age of 60, and 400 degrees at the age of 70. However, the degree of glasses needed by myopic people after they develop presbyopia depends on their original degree of myopia. For example, a person with 300-degree myopia, no matter how old he is, as long as his myopia degree remains unchanged, he will always wear glasses with the original degree when looking at distant objects. But with increasing age, for example, when he reaches 50 years old, his eyes develop 200-degree presbyopia, then he should wear 100-degree myopia glasses when looking at close objects; and when he reaches 70 years old, he should wear 100-degree reading glasses when looking at close objects.

What to do if you have myopia and presbyopia

What should I do if I am nearsighted and presbyopic?

First, have an eye test and try glasses every six months. If the myopia is low, you don’t need to wear myopia glasses for close vision. You can also use progressive glasses or multifocal glasses.

Secondly, if the myopia is less than 150 degrees, you can participate in visual potential development training to improve your distance vision so that you can see far and near without wearing glasses.

Third, use presbyopia surgery to correct it. This method is called CK, and its Chinese name is conductive keratometry. The operation takes 3 minutes and does not require any incision or removal of any eye tissue. The probe used for CK is as thin as a hair. It can release mild radio frequency to shrink a small amount of collagen on the cornea to improve the patient's myopia without sacrificing binocular hyperopia. Most patients are able to return to work and other normal activities the same day as their surgery. Although the eyes recover quickly after surgery, patients should take care of their eyes and avoid any tension on the day after surgery. Most patients experience slight visual fluctuations for a few weeks after surgery, but many are unaware of this. Compared with patients who undergo CK correction for myopia, patients who undergo hyperopia generally require a longer stabilization period.

For people with myopia and presbyopia, they should strengthen their physical exercise and ciliary muscle function and pay attention to nutrition. In addition, you can take the Chinese medicine wolfberry and cassia, 12 grams each time, brew them with freshly boiled water, and drink them as tea. This tea can nourish the liver and kidneys, clear the liver and improve eyesight, but be careful not to eat chili peppers or drink alcohol while taking it.
