Presbyopia Treatment Options
At Cohen Eye Institute, we offer a range of strategies for presbyopia treatment in Manhattan, tailored to meet your lifestyle and vision needs:
Reading Glasses and Multifocal Lenses
The simplest solution involves prescription reading glasses or multifocal lenses, which provide distinct focal points for near and distance vision.
Contact Lenses
Multifocal or monovision contact lenses offer an alternative to glasses by correcting each eye differently—one for distance and one for near vision.
LASIK Monovision
For those interested in laser vision correction, LASIK monovision adjusts one eye for distance and the other for near tasks. It's a viable option for some, though it requires a period of adaptation.
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
RLE replaces your natural lens with an intraocular lens designed to correct presbyopia and other refractive errors. This option is particularly effective for people over 40 who want a long-term solution.
Corneal Inlays
A recent innovation is corneal inlays, tiny implants inserted into the cornea to improve near vision without affecting distance vision. They're reversible and can be removed if necessary.
