What Does Vision Look Like With Presbyopia? | Animation

Presbyopia, the Greek word for “old eyes”, is part of the natural aging process of the eye and describes the loss of the eye's ability to change its focus to see near objects or writing. This generally starts to become noticeable around the age of 40, and gets progressively worse until around one’s late 60s.
Have a look at Dr Joseph’s animation video showing how presbyopia can affect your near vision as you age and the available refractive/lens management options for this treatable condition.

Dr. Dylan, can you talk more about Supplementary IOLs like sulcoflex or 1st add on? I´m 37 now and for the past 10 years have had monofocal lenses with residual myopia (2.25 and 1.25) due to a caratact early developed way too soon (sadly in Brazil at that time monofocal were the only option as I was told). As a high myopic person (9ish in both eyes) I was very happy with the outcome (remained with my near vision, gained an intermediate vision and improved the distance vision). But as we always aim for perfection I´ve recently done a prk to correct 1.25 (distance correction) and the doctor explained to me the reason to not correct both eyes. Now I find myself not seeing very well neither near or far (which is really making me sad because as a myopic my near vision has always been good). Doctor said it will get better over time and I´ll learn to live with this 2.25 difference between my eyes and I´ve watched your videos about it and hopefully with training I´ll overcome this. But...if not...I was presented with the option of sulcoflex trifocal lens in both eyes (the one with previous prk only to regain near vision and the other with 2.25 correction for distance). Seems the perfect world. However, as research goes, there´s also a neuroadaptation process that may or may not happen) and other problems such as halos and glares and the posibility of removal due to problems such as glaucoma (my mother suffers from it). Would really appreciate your opinion as I like the detailed yet simple way in which you explain things.
