WHAT IS PRESBYOPIA?

As we age, the natural crystalline lens in our eye becomes less flexible. This lack of flexibility compromises the eye's ability to switch from one focal point (objects at a distance – driving) to another focal point (objects that are close – reading). This is called presbyopia.

The practical effect of this loss of flexibility in the natural lens of the eye is that we lose our ability to read or see close objects without reading glasses or bifocals. To help you better understand presbyopia, click here to watch an animation of this process.

PRESBYOPIA

Today, for people who have cataracts with or without presbyopia, there is a procedure to remove the affected natural lens of the eye and replace it with a ReZoom™ Multifocal Lens that provides focused vision in all depths of field — near, intermediate and far.
