Lens Replacement Surgery

Lens Replacement Surgery at Optilase

Do you have difficulty reading fine print, menus, labels or your mobile phone? Do you find you’re suffering from eye strain when reading or does your vision blur when transitioning between near and far distances? Are you aged between 40 and 65? As we get older, we lose our near vision. The technical term for this loss of crispness and clarity of near vision is ‘presbyopia’.

What is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is the loss of ability to focus on near objects as the eye ages. It happens when the eye’s natural lens loses its flexibility and stiffens with age. 

Presbyopia is the reason that reading glasses become necessary, even for people who have excellent distance vision. It’s an inevitable condition, whether people have had previous laser eye surgery or not. 

People with presbyopia have difficulty reading menus, phones, newspapers, magazines, labels, watches and other objects close-up.

As we get older we lose the sharpness of our near vision. 

 The technical term for this loss is presbyopia.

Lens Replacement Surgery

At Optilase, we have a number of options, including lens replacement surgeries to help those who need reading glasses. The most suitable treatment for you will be discussed at a consultation with one of our experienced Optometrists and will take your current prescription and lifestyle into account.

What are the Criteria for Reading Vision Correction?

As a general rule patients selection criteria are as follows:
Age 40-65 years old
Wearing reading glasses for at least 2 years
May suffer eye strain or blurred vision
Difficulty focusing on print close-up
Have to hold items far away from eye to see them clearly
If you are aged between 40 and 65 and experience any of the issues outlined above, you may be suitable for Reading Vision Correction.

Not everyone is a Suitable Candidate for Reading Vision Correction

Presbyopia is quite a specific issue, and it only affects people after age 40; usually becoming quite noticeable by age 45. 

It’s solely due to ageing of the eye, so if you are younger than 40 and you have issues with close vision, you’re better suited for laser eye surgery, as your problems require a correction of the cornea. If you are older than 65, it is possible that you have complications other than presbyopia which alter your underlying prescription needs – for instance, cataracts.

So happy with my results! There was a very quick turnaround between my consultation and the surgery and they were so flexible with appointment times. There is a lot of waiting around on the day of surgery but once started it’s a very quick process! Would highly recommend to anyone considering!

Very happy so far, was a thoroughly professional experience from the consultation to the surgery to post op checks. Was slightly delayed on day of surgery but all worth it in the end. Would definitely recommend to anyone choosing to go down the laser eye surgery route.

I had laser eye surgery one week ago. It was by far the best decision I’ve ever made. I was extremely nervous about getting the procedure done, so I did get a second opinion on it. The service optilase offers was by far superior than anything else offered by other places. They were always happy to answer questions, and even got my optometrist, Michaela, to call me back to answer questions I had. On the day of surgery, I was in and out within an hour - super quick and efficient. The surgeon was very reassuring as were the whole team. By that evening there was a noticeable improvement in my vision, and by the next morning I had better than 20/20 vision. The precision of my vision now is indescribable: everything is so much clearer and life is just better! By far the best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you Michaela & Team Optilase for all of your help. I would highly recommend to anyone.

The staff were so friendly and helpful and made the whole process very easy. I got emails and phonecalls with all the information I needed and more from when I booked my first consultation until after the surgery. I had LASIK, which was quick and comfortable. My surgeon was kind and thorough and he took the time to chat before and after the procedure. It was all just generally easier and more pleasant than I expected and I’m so glad to have had LASIK here

The support from the stuff is incredible. They are always willing to help and answer any questions you may have, both pre and post procedure. I had the PRK procedure and although I am only just at the 2 week mark I can say that my recovery will take longer than I expected so that was slightly disappointing. Though I am aware recovery times differ, I was surprised because I was consistently told 2 weeks recovery time.

Had a brilliant experience at Optilase, 2 weeks from my consultation I was in to get my LASIK surgery after being told I was not eligible in other clinics. The staff were so friendly and reassuring I really felt in safe hands.
