Can you reverse presbyopia? Feel younger after turning back the clock on your eyesIs this you?You’ve had strong vision your whole life with little or no dependency on wearing glasses. Now, you’re older. You possibly have a family, your own property, enjoy regular vacations, and you have a stable career.Your 40s and 50s are a power age. But some things are holding you back. They remind you that you’re not as perky as you were in your younger days. Your eyesight is fading.Suddenly you have trouble seeing things up close, and you have to hold readable material further away in order to see it. You may also get headaches and eyestrain.This refractive error is known as presbyopia (ageing eyes) affecting people aged 40 onwards and many people resort to wearing reading glasses in order to live with it. Maybe this is you. But you’re still not used to wearing specs. They don’t make you feel good and you find that they are more hassle than they’re worth.Many people ask, “can you reverse presbyopia?” We might have the solution for your eye’s aging process.Presbyopia explainedAgeing eyes can be caused by numerous things. Modern life and too much screen-time doesn’t help. But the root of the problem is the lens of your eye. This organ focuses by adjusting shape in order to see things up-close and further away, just as a camera lens would. However, over time, this lens hardens and becomes less flexible, making it less able to pan and therefore affecting your vision.This is when people start to wear reading glasses or multifocal contact lenses, as their lenses are not strong enough to see certain things without visual aids.There is no natural cure to presbyopia and not even laser eye surgery can correct it permanently. If left untreated, this can develop into cataracts in older age and can have a critical impact on your vision.Lens replacement surgery is a permanent solution for youWe have a way to make you feel younger.
