5 presbyopia myths debunked
Presbyopia is a common age-related vision change that affects virtually everyone. However, numerous myths surround presbyopia, making it misunderstood. Let's debunk these myths and clarify how modern solutions, such as Supracor , can effectively address presbyopia.
Myth 1: Presbyopia Only Affects Older Adults
Many people mistakenly believe presbyopia affects only elderly individuals. In reality, the first signs typically appear around the age of 40, gradually worsening over time, impacting the ability to focus on near objects clearly.
Myth 2: Wearing Reading Glasses Weakens Your Eyes
It's a common misconception that using reading glasses weakens your eyesight. Reading glasses actually help your eyes focus better, reducing strain and preventing headaches and fatigue. They don't negatively impact your eyes’ strength or functionality.
Myth 3: You Must Always Depend on Reading Glasses
Reading glasses are not the only option to manage presbyopia. Modern procedures like Supracor—a sophisticated laser treatment—can significantly reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses, enhancing your visual independence.
Myth 4: You Can Prevent Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a natural ageing process of the eye's lens losing flexibility. Although good visual habits can delay symptoms, presbyopia itself is inevitable and cannot be prevented through lifestyle alone.
Myth 5: Everyone Experiences Presbyopia Similarly
Presbyopia does not affect everyone the same way. Its onset, progression, and severity vary widely based on individual factors such as genetics, health, and lifestyle choices.
