The most commonly used method in the treatment of presbyopia is glasses. While aiming a clearer vision with glasses treatment, eye and headaches due to presbyopia are also eliminated. Another treatment method used besides glasses is using lenses.

You can use the lenses that you have provided with a doctor’s prescription in accordance with the degree of your eyes. In addition to the distant problem, people who have difficulty in seeing the relatives prefer multi-focus progressive lenses.

If you don’t want to wear two glasses and want to have clear vision with monocle glasses, it may be better for you. You can also choose progressive glasses as well as bifocal lenses with double focus. The main feature that distinguishes progressive glasses from bifocal glasses; progressive lenses have 3 focal points, far middle and close, while bifocal lenses have 2 focal points far and close. There is also a sharp line in the middle of the bifocal lenses that separates the far and near focus point.

When an object at a distance is close, the signals reaching the brain are evaluated and transmitted back to the eye. In line with the signals transmitted to the brain, with the contraction and relaxation of the eye muscles, it is stretched and relaxed with fibers. However, depending on the age, the eye muscles lose this feature and vision defects occur at close range over time.

Vision defect, which increases every year after the age of 40, increases its effect over time. However, people with nearsightedness see better, and the two diseases overlap and show a defect-reducing effect. In other words, people who have difficulty in seeing far will see their relatives better.

The problem of not seeing relatives, which started in the 40s, varies continuously until the age of 60. The degree that increases with time becomes stagnant after the age of 60. The lens, which loses its flexibility and hardens, actually loses its ability to focus after 60 and 65 years of age. For presbyopia patients, reading glasses after the age of 60 are indispensable. However, people with myopia will see much more clearly that they have removed their distance glasses.

The most common symptom in presbyopia patients is that they realize while reading a newspaper or book. Presbyopia patients, who provide better vision farther away, need to constantly remove the objects they read or the articles they read. Over time, they encounter problems such as blurred vision, pain in the forehead and temple parts. They have difficulty focusing and concentrating when dealing with tasks that require attention at close range. After a presbyopia patient reading a book or newspaper for a while, he has difficulty seeing the distance clearly.

• – If the eye is too long, the image appears in front of the retina.
• – If the eye is too strong, it creates the image in front of the retina.

• – Low myopia: up to -3.50
• – Middle myopia: from -3.50 to -6.00
• – High myopia: higher than -6.00

Congenital myopia: It is known as child myopia. It continues from birth to childhood. Therefore, it is necessary to take the children to regular eye exams from the first 6 months.

Youth myopia: It occurs in the 20s.

School age myopia: Occurs during childhood, especially during school age. In this form of myopia, the eye gets tired from looking nearby while working.

In early adulthood: It starts between the ages of 20 and 40.

In late adulthood: Seen after age 40.

Since myopes who cannot see far can see their relatives clearly, they become very advantageous since they can easily see the relatives during presbyopia, after 40 years of age.

Daytime vision of myopic individuals is slightly better than night vision. The reason is that because the pupil is closed with daytime light, the rate of fuzzy light entering the eye decreases, so myopic people get clear vision when they squeeze their eyes. Likewise, a myopic person without glasses can clearly see the articles he / she cannot read and the objects that he cannot see by opening a hole in the paper with a needle.

• Cataract formation is generally proportional to age. Cataract formation begins as a result of the aging of the lens in middle-aged and older people. The eyepiece (lens) that accumulates protein and old cells cannot be expelled because it is closed and causes eye to lose its transparency. At the same time, not using sunglasses causes cataracts to occur at an earlier age. The use of cheap and unhealthy sunglasses triggers cataract formation with more eye damage. Other causes besides aging, which is the main cause of cataracts;
  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • Thyroid gland diseases
  • Prolonged exposure to sunlight, i.e. not using sunglasses
  • The blow to the eye
  • Long-term drug use
  • Vitamin C deficiency
  • Diseases such as measles and measles used by the mother during pregnancy cause cataracts in the baby.

The first symptom of cataracts is decrease in vision. The most important symptoms are getting disturbed by light at nights, having decreased vision in the dark or in the sunlight, faded colors and yellowing in colors.
