• Presbyopia 

Presbyopia is a condition affecting vision, caused by a flattening of the cornea or a shorter eye length compared to the normal focal length of the eyeball. This leads to light focusing behind the retina, resulting in difficulty seeing objects up close while distant objects may appear clear—or, in some cases, both near and far vision can be blurry. Presbyopia, commonly referred to as "age-related farsightedness," often occurs naturally with age. Individuals who already have congenital farsightedness (hyperopia) may experience worsened presbyopia as they age, typically due to genetic factors.

Causes of Hyperopia

Hyperopia can occur due to:

1. Congenital farsightedness (Farsightedness): A condition present from birth.  

2. Age-related farsightedness (Presbyopia): A natural condition developing with age.

Congenital Farsightedness (Farsightedness)

This condition originates during childhood and often goes unnoticed due to the flexibility of the eye muscles in young individuals, allowing them to compensate for the vision defect. However, as these muscles weaken with age, the symptoms of congenital farsightedness become more apparent.

​

Symptoms:

• Strained eyes after activities like reading, writing, or drawing for prolonged periods.

• Frequent headaches, eye fatigue, and a tendency to rub the eyes.

• Loss of interest in close-up activities.

 

If these behaviors are observed, it is recommended to seek an eye examination with an ophthalmologist to diagnose and address the condition.

Age-Related Farsightedness (Presbyopia)

Presbyopia occurs as the lens of the eye hardens and loses flexibility with age, usually starting around the age of 40. This affects the lens's ability to change shape and focus on nearby objects.​

Symptoms:

• Difficulty reading at a normal distance, needing to hold objects farther away to see clearly.

• Eyestrain or headaches from extended close-up focus.

• Double vision or blurry vision, especially at night.

• Challenges in daily activities like reading, sewing, using devices, or driving.

Impact of Untreated Presbyopia

Untreated presbyopia can significantly affect daily life, reducing the ability to perform tasks requiring close-up vision and lowering overall quality of life. It may also lead to accidents, especially in activities like driving or operating machinery.

Advanced Presbyopia Correction Technology at TRSC

TRSC employs innovative technologies to address presbyopia alongside other vision impairments like nearsightedness, astigmatism, or congenital farsightedness. These methods allow for clear near, intermediate, and distant vision without dependency on glasses.

​

Techniques include:

• Blade-free LASIK: Utilizing a laser to adjust corneal curvature by creating a specialized shape (Spherical Aberration) to extend the depth of focus.

• Radiofrequency Technology: Applying small amounts of heat to corneal tissue to enhance curvature and improve near vision.
   

Dominant Eye Adjustment: Correcting the dominant eye for distant vision and the non-dominant eye for near vision, enabling a seamless visual transition through brain adaptation.

Who is Suitable for TRSC Presbyopia Treatment?
 

This treatment is ideal for individuals who:

• Are 45 years or older.

• Experience difficulty with near vision or have farsightedness.

• Are in good general health and free from severe eye diseases.

• Have a clear understanding of the benefits and limitations of presbyopia correction.

TRSC PresByLASIK Clinic offers advanced presbyopia correction technologies, including blade-free LASIK, radiofrequency technology, and dominant eye adjustment, to improve near, intermediate, and distant vision without glasses, ideal for individuals over 45 experiencing presbyopia or farsightedness.
