Presbyopia LASIK

Presbyopia is the need to wear eyeglasses for reading after the age of 40. We first adjust to this by placing objects farther from us, stretching our arm to read text messages, simple documents, or the menu in a restaurant. We later notice eyestrain with our computers, and deskwork becomes difficult. The purchase of several sets of eyeglasses to be placed in strategic positions over time does not eliminate the hassle, cost and embarrassment which midlife brings. The treatment for presbyopia has been researched for over twenty years. Many modalities were developed, but the most satisfactory is through Lasik Customvue by VISX. It is U.S. FDA approved, and has been released for world use (2005). Makati Eye Laser Center, a pioneer in laser vision correction in the Philippines, is one among the few centers in Asia with this procedure.
