Visual fatigue, redness, stinging and heaviness of the eyes, headache, etc. are also usually manifested.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”2) At what age is it common to start seeing badly up close?”][vc_column_text]Usually, between the ages of 40 and 45, although the development of this visual condition is progressive.

Your ophthalmologist will study your case in a personalized way and determine the most appropriate technique.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”4) Can anyone have surgery for presbyopia?”][vc_column_text]It is always essential to go to a preoperative<\/strong> consultation so that the ophthalmologist can evaluate your case and know in detail your situation and needs by performing different tests.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”5) Can I have surgery if I have myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism?”][vc_column_text]Yes, as long as the ophthalmologist determines it. In fact, in cases where the patient has a prescription defect associated with tired eyes, such as myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, it can be resolved in the same surgical procedure.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”6) Will I feel pain during the operation?”][vc_column_text]Under no circumstances, since topical anesthesia<\/a> is previously applied in the form of drops.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”7) How long does the intervention take?”][vc_column_text]The procedure only takes a few minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis.

Of course, we recommend leaving the clinic with sunglasses. <\/p>\n To return to work, it is advisable to wait a week, although, if necessary, it is possible to do so in a couple of days (in case of favorable evolution).<\/p>\n For the performance of certain sports activities such as contact sports, swimming, etc., it is advisable to wait approximately one month after the intervention, although the time may decrease depending on the technique used.<\/p>\n For everyday activities, such as watching TV or reading, there is no need to wait, although it will depend on the patient’s comfort.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”10) Can presbyopia be prevented?”][vc_column_text]To date, there is no preventive treatment for presbyopia as it is a visual problem associated with age and natural aging.
