Loss of accommodation (presbyopia) is physiological and affects everyone after the age of 40. It then continues until the fifties when practically all flexibility of the lens disappears.
This is why it is important for people between 40 and 54 years of age to make a wise choice as to the type of surgery they wish to have. Our team is there to help you select the ideal surgery for your situation. Here are the options available to you:
ULTRALASIK is the optimization of all the technologies used in the laser surgery process, combining the cut of a state-of-the-art laser with personalized customer laser treatment. ULTRALASIK is 100% laser surgery for correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. However, ULTRALASIK surgery does not prevent the gradual progression of presbyopia.
The quality of your vision depends on the shape of your eye. If the eye’s curvature is misshapen, the result is lack of focus; optical correction is required to compensate. ULTRALASIK surgery can correct imperfections in the shape of the eye by pulverizing the thin layers of cells on the surface of the cornea, to the nearest micrometre. ULTRALASIK surgery is the most common laser treatment and has the shortest recovery time. A flap on the eye’s surface is lifted and laser is applied to the underlying layer of the cornea.
