What are the treatments for presbyopia?

Presbyopia mainly refers to a phenomenon that occurs in the elderly. In fact, this phenomenon is caused by the aging of human body functions. As we age, our body functions gradually deteriorate, which leads to presbyopia. Conditions like presbyopia usually occur in people over 40 years old. So how to treat presbyopia?

Old people often say: "Whether you have presbyopia or not starts at 48." That is to say, when you are around 48 years old, if your eyesight is blurry, it means you have presbyopia. If you can see things clearly, it means you will not develop presbyopia in the future. So some elderly people suffer from presbyopia, while others do not. So how to treat presbyopia?

First, wearing reading glasses (a convex lens) is the simplest and necessary method. Since the degree of presbyopia changes with age, the degree of reading glasses will also increase.

Generally speaking, for people aged 40 to 45 (assuming they do not have myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism), the degree of reading glasses is about 100 to 150 degrees. After that, you may need to replace your glasses with a stronger pair every 3 to 5 years. At around 50 years old, it is about 200 degrees; at around 60 years old, it is about 300 degrees. After the age of 60, there is no significant change. Although corneal surgery can also treat presbyopia, it is too troublesome.
