Presbyopia is a natural part of the aging process of your eyes.
This condition causes blurred vision while trying to read or work on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. It can occur as early as your 40s.
Up until now, options for patients in the U.S. with near vision loss have been limited to reading glasses, bifocals or surgical procedures that compromise patients' distance vision and offer no guarantee of lasting success.
What is the breakthrough treatment that can help cure presbyopia?
Dr. Tom Tooma joins Dr. Mike to discuss presbyopia and the newest treatment options available.
