Presbyopia is mainly caused by the gradual decrease in the elasticity of the lens and the weakening of the ciliary muscle contraction with age. Presbyopia can be corrected through optometry, good eye habits or surgery.
1. Optometry: When presbyopia occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital for optometry in time. Wearing suitable presbyopia glasses will help to improve the ability of near vision to a certain extent, and also reduce visual fatigue, so as to improve presbyopia.
2. Cultivate good eye habits: Presbyopic elderly should pay attention to wearing presbyopia glasses in time, and should also pay attention to cultivate good eye habits, avoiding close-distance and prolonged reading, preventing the decline of the eye’s distance and near adjustment ability, causing visual fatigue, which can improve the presbyopia to a certain extent.
3. Surgery: Scleral expansion surgery and adjustable IOL implantation can be performed for presbyopia, but these surgical treatments are still in the clinical verification stage.
When symptoms of presbyopia appear, attention should be paid and early medical treatment should be sought to improve the quality of life.
