Presbyopia is a complication that affects the population over the age of 40. “Visual rejuvenation” is a concept involving a number of techniques and technologies that emerge as a solution to correct this problem.
Blurred vision, difficulty seeing up close and the need to spread one’s arms to be able to read are some situations that begin to be part of the lives of adults after the age of 40. It is at this time that the eyes begin to show the first signs of aging. In the midst of these circumstances, presbyopia is born, a condition also known as “tired eyesight” which is the result of the natural aging of vision and is part of the life of approximately 39 million Brazilians.
You data come from the Brazilian Council of Ophthalmology (CBO), which also emphasizes that 90% of cases of ocular deficiencies are preventable or treatable. For the ophthalmologist Leonardo Tibúrciothe panorama is faithful to the reality of eye health in Brazil, but there are surgical techniques capable of resolving the situation.
“Eye changes are common and naturally predictable as the body ages. In this scenario, a visit to the ophthalmologist is necessary, especially when it comes to eye diseases, since in them the problems can quickly worsen and lead to serious conditions like blindness”, he underlines.
The doctor and director of NEO Ophthalmology, based in Nova Lima (MG)explains that, in the case of presbyopia, or tired eyesight, the situation is similar. “It is expected that people over the age of 40 will begin to suffer from blurred vision, have difficulty seeing near and far, and need the help of glasses to see better.”
According to him, there are also other signs that indicate the onset of presbyopia, such as headache, burning eyes, redness and eye strain. “These are behavioral symptoms for which perhaps the vision needs ‘help’. In the case of surgical treatment, we call it ‘visual rejuvenation’. It is about giving the patient back the vision, as close as possible, that he has always had throughout his life.” of life, without depending on glasses”, he explains.
The ophthalmologist explains that, with the loss of elasticity and stiffening of the lens (our natural lens) and the functionality of the muscles surrounding it, a set of techniques come into play. “PRESBYOND (laser correction of tired vision), for example, modifies the shape of the cornea, correcting tired vision and other pathologies such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Today we have a vast set of techniques and technologies which, individually or combined with each other , themselves, favor the correction of our patients’ degrees, including tired eyes”, says the doctor.
The benefits can be realized quickly
The recovery of the patient who undergoes one of the techniques included in the concept of visual rejuvenation is rapid and safe, as Leonardo Tibúrcio assures. “We are talking about a surgery that will correct the problem with a downtime In short, that is, the procedure has a rapid recovery and good efficacy, as well as generating a better quality of life for the patient in the long term. It’s not for nothing that we use the term ‘visual rejuvenation'”, explains the ophthalmologist.
