Presbyopia of the eye is an acquired disease. It appears in the elderly, and the gender of the person does not matter. It should be noted that with timely prevention, pathology may not occur at all. The disease presented is acquired hyperopia.
The causes of the appearance of pathology can be different. Among them, one can note a constant load on the eyes, which contributes to the wear of the lens: it loses its elasticity and the tissues become denser. In principle, such changes are age-related, but they occur at different times. Presbyopia of the eye has certain symptoms. The main sign of the disease is the inability to normally see small objects. In order to better see the letters in the book or a small picture, you have to strain your eyes a lot.
If you have presbyopia of the eyes, then you will notice that the image seems less contrast. That is, the letters begin to blur. His eyes get very tired, and a headache may appear. But if you move the book a certain distance, then all the details become clearly visible. A doctor should diagnose the pathology. At the same time, your vision is checked not only using the table, but also with special equipment.
If the doctor has made a diagnosis such as presbyopia, treatment is carried out using lenses or glasses. However, this method will help those who have not had vision problems before, otherwise such an adjustment may not help. For some patients, it is sufficient to wear glasses only when working with small parts or when reading. The rest need to wear them constantly. It should be noted that the pathology has a tendency to progress, so from time to time the points will have to be changed.
In this way, presbyopia of the eyes cannot be cured, so some doctors advise surgical intervention. In this case, the best method is to replace the lens with an artificial implant. The operation is carried out in 20 minutes, and after it the patient can immediately go home. A person after an intervention immediately notices an improvement in vision. Points in this case are no longer needed. Moreover, vision will remain good forever. This method is the most optimal and common in world practice.
In order for presbyopia of both eyes not to appear as long as possible, some preventative measures should be taken. For example, visit your doctor periodically so that he can notice changes in vision on time. In addition, perform special
exercises for the eyes, try not to burden them. Calculate the optimal
mode of rest and nutrition. Also try not to dry your eyes. If you are working at a computer, be sure to take a break every 45 minutes. If necessary, use special drops that are similar to a human tear.
The presented disease is age-related and appears in almost everyone. However, it depends only on you how far you can push the first manifestations of the pathology.
