DETAILS OF THIS VISION PROBLEM
A blurry vision for objects that are close, starting at age 40
Presbyopia is a weakening of the focusing mechanism that helps us switch between distance and close-up vision.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), presbyopia affects more than 2 billion people worldwide, making it one of the most common vision disorders. With an aging population, approximately 2.5 million Canadians are affected by presbyopia, a number that will continue to grow over time. According to studies, about 70% of Quebecers aged 50 and over experience symptoms of presbyopia.
In short, the eye no longer accommodates the way it used to. This often translates into difficulty reading. When you come for a free consultation at one of our clinics, we will give you all the information you need on the best option to treat your vision problem.
