Moreover: it also appears in people who have never been diagnosed with any vision defect.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Presbyopia is associated with the progressive stiffening of the lens and the weakening ability of the eye&#8217;s accommodation (the accommodative muscles become weaker). These changes cannot be prevented \u2013 they result from the natural wear and tear of our body. Even the healthiest lifestyle will not prevent them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is worth adding that some diseases, such as diabetes, or taking antihistamines or antidepressants, can accelerate the development of presbyopia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is estimated that by 2020, the number of people struggling with presbyopia worldwide will reach approximately 1.3 billion. This is a problem that is easy to diagnose and possible to correct. Therefore, it is worth seeking the help of a specialist.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-9c5310f2\" class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns alignfull has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset has-light-bg\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-c5d08020\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column animated fadeInUp\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Starczowzroczno\u015b\u0107 - co to jest i jak si\u0119 objawia? | SwissLaser Warszawa\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wOc63xDnuDI?start=5&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-779964b9\" class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns alignfull has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset has-light-bg\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-508e781a\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-d83b95ac\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns has-2-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-collapsedRows-layout has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-e7421948\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-5f14d318\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column animated fadeInUp slow\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-97fd644c\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-387e8ecf\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5\" id=\"sekcja-2\" style=\"border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--neve-link-color);border-left-width:4px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">&#8220;Arms too short,&#8221; or the farsighted person reading a newspaper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first symptoms of presbyopia are impossible not to feel: accommodation disorders are experienced as significant discomfort.

These examinations serve to determine if other eye diseases are present. In the next step, we measure the eye and perform optical biometry, considered the most precise method for measuring the axial length and partial segments of the eyeball. We also record the corneal curvature \u2013 this is done completely non-invasively using a laser that measures along the eye&#8217;s axis. This method is completely safe and eliminates measurement errors that occur with ultrasound measurement.      <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-timeline-item-f217218b\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-timeline-item\"><div class=\"o-timeline-container\"><div class=\"o-timeline-icon\"><\/div><div class=\"o-timeline-content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-32-px-font-size\"><strong><strong>Corneal examination<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To achieve optimal presbyopia correction, a precise corneal map is created.

Based on such a &#8220;map,&#8221; the refractive power of the eye, which plays a very important role during correction surgery, is determined.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also offer another painless examination of the anterior corneal wall \u2013 optical coherence tomography of the anterior segment of the eye.

On this day, no creams, powders, makeup, mascara, aftershave, or other substances applied to the face should be used. This is important to prevent eye infections. You can eat and drink normally. Final questions are clarified. Patients also receive medications and instructions for their use after surgery. Before we begin, we schedule a follow-up appointment for the next morning.

They may experience symptoms such as: watery eyes, slight burning, or a feeling of a foreign body. On this day, the eyes should be kept closed as much as possible (except, for example, when going to the toilet or eating). Avoid watching TV, reading, working on a computer, using smartphones, etc. The eyelids press on the cornea, which accelerates its healing. To prevent boredom, you can listen to an audiobook or music. Otherwise, remain calm.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protective glasses should also be worn at night to prevent accidental eye injury. Avoid rubbing and pressing the eyes in the first few days after surgery. After laser surgery, makeup should be avoided for two weeks to prevent eye infection. After lens exchange, the &#8220;no makeup&#8221; rule applies for four weeks. For two weeks, do not bathe in a tub, go to a spa or sauna, or shower with your face directly in the stream of water. For two weeks, drafts, smoky, windy, and dusty rooms should also be avoided. This also applies to physical exertion.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients receive an eye drop schedule and two types of drops (corticosteroid and antibiotic drops). The schedule indicates when and with which medications the eyes should be instilled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the day after the operation, you should come for the next scheduled appointment. Usually, on this day, patients have no complaints and regain about 90% of their vision. The next examination is planned for the following month.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-ced8f3f7\" class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns alignfull has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset has-light-bg\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-552b5115\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column animated fadeInUp\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jak b\u0119d\u0119 czu\u0142 si\u0119 po zabiegu korekcji starczowzroczno\u015bci? | SwissLaser Warszawa\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G_hY2EXNwtQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-0033069b\" class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns alignfull has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-07cba28c\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column animated fadeInUp\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-17\" id=\"sekcja-10\" style=\"border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-style:none;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--neve-link-color);border-left-width:4px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several methods for permanent presbyopia correction are available.

Jedn\u0105 z nich jest metoda tak zwanej monowizji. Polega ona na tym, \u017ce oko dominuj\u0105ce jest korygowane do perfekcyjnego widzenia z daleka, a oko niedominuj\u0105ce jest korygowane do bardzo dobrego widzenia z bliska. Oba te dwa obrazy fuzjonuj\u0105 w m\u00f3zgu i pacjent wtedy widzi dosy\u0107 dobrze z daleka i dosy\u0107 dobrze z bliska. Dlaczego m\u00f3wi\u0119 dosy\u0107 dobrze? Bo zdarzaj\u0105 si\u0119 sytuacje, na przyk\u0142ad podczas mroku lub w nocy, \u017ce taki pacjent potrzebuje wtedy okulary do widzenia w dal, aby perfekcyjnie widzie\u0107. Lub na przyk\u0142ad, je\u017celi pacjent czyta bardzo ulotki od lekarstw, kt\u00f3re s\u0105 napisane maczkiem i wtedy do takiej sytuacji pacjent czasem potrzebuje okular\u00f3w do czytania. Nie ka\u017cdy pacjent nadaje si\u0119 do korekcji monowizji, poniewa\u017c nie ka\u017cdy m\u00f3zg akceptuje r\u00f3\u017cnic\u0119 dioptrii, kt\u00f3r\u0105 osi\u0105gamy za pomoc\u0105 takiej korekcji wzroku. Aby dobrze wyselekcjonowa\u0107 pacjenta, musimy takowy wzrok pacjentowi zasymulowa\u0107 i wtedy tak\u0105 odpowied\u017a, czy taki typ widzenia dla pacjenta jest odpowiedni, nie wychodzi ze strony lekarza, tylko od strony pacjenta. I \u017ceby to jeszcze zrobi\u0107 troszeczk\u0119 bardziej skomplikowanie, t\u0105 r\u00f3\u017cnic\u0119 pomi\u0119dzy oczami mo\u017cemy indywidualnie dostosowa\u0107 do potrzeb pacjenta. Niekt\u00f3rzy pacjenci nie potrzebuj\u0105 perfekcyjnego wzroku z bliska i wtedy ustawiamy powiedzmy t\u0105 r\u00f3\u017cnic\u0119, ta r\u00f3\u017cnica jest troszeczk\u0119 mniejsza. Lub na odwr\u00f3t, pacjenci, kt\u00f3rzy potrzebuj\u0105 lepsze widzenie z bliska i akceptuj\u0105 powiedzmy do wyj\u0105tkowych sytuacji okulary do jazdy samochodu wieczorem, wtedy ustawiamy odpowiednio t\u0105 r\u00f3\u017cnic\u0119 wi\u0119ksz\u0105. Akceptacj\u0119 nie tylko mo\u017cemy, takich r\u00f3\u017cnicy nie musimy tylko zasymulowa\u0107 podczas badania lekarskiego, lecz tak samo mo\u017cna pacjentowi da\u0107 soczewki kontaktowe na powiedzmy kilka godzin lub kilka dni, \u017ceby pacjent przekona\u0142 si\u0119 w r\u00f3\u017cnych sytuacjach \u017cycia, czy jest to dla niego odpowiednie rozwi\u0105zanie lub nie. Metoda PresbyMAX jest to innowacyjna metoda korekcji starczo-wroczno\u015bci za pomoc\u0105 lasera. Jest to zmodyfikowana metoda monowizji, kt\u00f3r\u0105 opisa\u0142em w poprzednim filmie. Polega ona na dodaniu aberracji sferycznych do metody monowizji, kt\u00f3re polepszaj\u0105 jako\u015b\u0107 widzenia i polepszaj\u0105 tak samo tolerancj\u0119 r\u00f3\u017cnic dioptry pomi\u0119dzy lewym i prawym okiem. Metoda PresbyMAX zosta\u0142a wynaleziona przez firm\u0119 Schwint ju\u017c kilka lat temu i co roku nast\u0119puj\u0105 modyfikacje, kt\u00f3re poprawiaj\u0105 jako\u015b\u0107 widzenia. Nie ka\u017cdy pacjent nadaje si\u0119 do metody PresbyMAX. Najwa\u017cniejsza jest akceptacja monowizji r\u00f3\u017cnicy dioptrii pomi\u0119dzy oczami. I to jest moje zadanie, zadanie mojego zespo\u0142u, aby pokaza\u0107 pacjentowi, jak to mo\u017ce wygl\u0105da\u0107 w przysz\u0142o\u015bci, \u017ceby nie zrobi\u0107 takiego zabiegu pacjentowi, kt\u00f3ry to nie toleruje lub dla kt\u00f3rego taki typ widzenia by\u0142by ra\u017c\u0105cy lub nie odpowiada\u0142by jego oczekiwania.\"\n}\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sl-medical-review has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Content fact-checked by <a href=\"https:\/\/swisslaser.pl\/en\/about-us\/dr-victor-derhartunian\/\">Dr. med. univ.

Which one suits you depends less on your birth year and more on what you rule out for yourself: one person doesn&#8217;t want an invasive procedure, another doesn&#8217;t want a method where values might still change, a third doesn&#8217;t want donor tissue. Therefore, we decide together during the qualification examination, not according to a fixed scheme.   <\/p><div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:16px;margin:18px 0 6px\"><div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #dcedf6;border-radius:14px;padding:20px 22px;flex:1 1 260px\"><div style=\"color:#00b4eb;font-size:.78em;letter-spacing:.09em;text-transform:uppercase;font-weight:700;margin-bottom:6px\">Your lens remains<\/div><div style=\"color:#03293b;font-weight:700;font-size:1.05em;margin-bottom:8px\">PresbyMAX<\/div><div style=\"color:#555d60;line-height:1.55;font-size:.95em\">The laser reshapes the cornea, your own lens remains untouched.
