Before the age of 45-50yrs, the eye is a \u2018dynamic\u2019 system that can change its focal point and bring objects into focus at different distances from the eye. <\/span><\/p>\n

It does this by spontaneously changing the shape of the human lens inside the eye, a process called accommodation. The eye has two powerful lenses (cornea and human lens) that focus the light onto the retina to allow us to see. When we reach our mid-forties, the lens becomes stiffer and loses the ability to change shape and thus it cannot focus on objects within a 1 metre radius from the eye. This makes the system \u2018static\u2019 and is why we need reading glasses to bring close objects into focus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Surgical treatment for presbyopia may involve treatment to either the cornea (laser eye surgery) or the lens (refractive lens exchange).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3103,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3011","condition","type-condition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPresbyopia Treatment Portsmouth | Nick Maycock<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Surgical treatment for presbyopia may involve treatment to either the cornea (laser eye surgery) or the lens (refractive lens exchange).\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/conditions\/presbyopia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Presbyopia Treatment Portsmouth | Nick Maycock\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Surgical treatment for presbyopia may involve treatment to either the cornea (laser eye surgery) or the lens (refractive lens exchange).\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/conditions\/presbyopia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Nick Maycock\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-01-04T12:31:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_619298918-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"910\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"650\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/conditions\/presbyopia\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/conditions\/presbyopia\",\"name\":\"Presbyopia Treatment Portsmouth | Nick Maycock\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/conditions\/presbyopia#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/conditions\/presbyopia#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_619298918-1.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-10-31T11:16:52+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-01-04T12:31:10+00:00\",\"description\":\"Surgical treatment for presbyopia may involve treatment to either the cornea (laser eye surgery) or the lens (refractive lens exchange).\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/conditions\/presbyopia#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/conditions\/presbyopia\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/conditions\/presbyopia#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_619298918-1.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/nickmaycock.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_619298918-1.jpg\",\"width\":910,\"height\":650,\"caption\":\"Mr Nick Maycock -
