¿Qué es la Presbicia?

La presbicia o presbiopía, también denominada vista cansada, es un defecto ocular que aparece generalmente a partir de los 45 años y ocasiona dificultad para ver de cerca. Se debe a la reducción del poder de acomodación del ojo que provoca disminución de la capacidad para enfocar objetos cercanos.

PresbyMAX

PresbyMAX® permite el tratamiento seguro y eficaz de pacientes emétropes, miopes e hipermétropes, al igual que pacientes con astigmatismo, cuya respuesta de acomodación es limitada. PresbyMAX® es una corrección con laser utilizando un software avanzado con la creación de un perfil de ablación bi-asférico y multifocal. Los pacientes obtienen una visión confortable en todas las distancias ya que el software PresbyMAX® aumenta la profundidad de foco y minimiza las pérdidas de contraste.

¿What is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is a condition where, with age, the eye exhibits a progressively diminished ability to focus on near objects. Presbyopia’s exact mechanisms are not known with certainty; the research evidence most strongly supports a loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens, although changes in the lens’ curvature from continual growth and loss of power of the ciliar muscles (the muscles that bend and straighten the lens) have also been postulated as its cause.

PresbyMAX

 For the first time, it is possible to correct simultaneously both near and distance vision problems. PresbyMAX® can correct visual disturbances such as astigmatism, myopia or hyperopia along with presbyopia with excimer laser technology. These patients are able to read a book, drive a car, play sports without the need for eyeglasses. Both eyes are treated simultaneously and both eyes are able to see in both distances. PresbyMAX® is a safe and effective procedure for emetropes, myopes and hyperopes as well as patients with astigmatism.
