Before and after lens replacement surgery: Your daily life without reading glasses

You may not be able to see as clearly as you used to, but you don’t have to rely on reading glasses anymore. With lens replacement surgery, you can experience improved vision without the need for corrective lenses. Let’s compare daily life before and after your procedure.

Life before lens replacement surgery

Reading glasses are the most common solution for presbyopia (ageing eyes), but it’s not always fun to wear them.

Your daily life with reading glasses means;

• You’re losing them all the time, only to find them in the most obvious place (when it’s too late) and then, of course, they go missing again.
• Constantly needing to bring them with you wherever you go, and if you forget them, you’re less able to complete tasks and act with confidence.
• They’re always getting smudged and dirty, so you have to clean them constantly.
• You may need to constantly adjust them on your nose as they can slide down.
• Without them you can barely see.
• You’re less able to do active or outdoor activities without your specs getting in the way
• They make you feel like you’re getting older.

Life after lens replacement surgery

Your daily life after the procedure means:

• Waking up and getting ready in the morning is much easier without having to search for your glasses. You’ll be able to see the time on your phone or watch with ease.
• If you wear contact lenses, you can say goodbye to the hassle of putting them in and taking them out every day.
• Expect crystal clear, high-definition vision.
• If you’re accustomed to wearing glasses for distance, driving will be safer and easier. You’ll have a wider field of vision without glasses or contacts. You’ll also be able to better see signs and traffic lights.
• If you enjoy outdoor activities, you’ll be able to participate more freely without worrying about your glasses slipping off. You can live a more active and independent life.
• At work, you’ll be able to see your computer screen more clearly and do your job more efficiently. You also won’t have to deal with the glare of eyeglasses.
• Get up and go, be in the moment, without worrying about your visual aids.
• Enjoy the simpler things, like switching from reading to savouring a beautiful view.
• You’ll look and feel like your best self.
