Beware of two major misunderstandings about presbyopia

1. If you are nearsighted when you are young, you will not have presbyopia when you are old.

Many people believe that people with myopia will not have presbyopia, but this is not true. Presbyopia is a normal physiological phenomenon, and people with myopia are no exception. It’s just that when looking at close objects, the degree of myopia and the degree of presbyopia cancel each other out, so sometimes you can see clearly without wearing reading glasses. Doctors point out that if a person is myopic by 200 degrees but has no astigmatism, and the human eye has no ability to adjust at all, he or she can take off the glasses when reading or viewing at a distance of about 50 cm.

2. Presbyopia is not scary and can be cured naturally

Some elderly people have suffered from presbyopia for many years. Recently, their eyesight has suddenly improved and they no longer need to wear reading glasses when reading books or newspapers. They think that presbyopia can heal itself. The doctor told the editor that presbyopia cannot be cured by itself because it is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs in everyone. People cannot regain their youth, and the decline of eye muscle function will not recover automatically. The "sudden disappearance" of presbyopia may be caused by cataracts causing changes in the refractive power of the lens. In the early stages of cataracts, due to the increase in density of the lens and gradual turbidity, the refractive state of the eyeball slowly changes to "myopia", and close vision becomes clearer than before.
