What if you always had perfect vision, for distance and near, but now experiencing some difficulties reading things up close? Do you constantly have to look for your reading glasses when you answer your mobile phone to see who is calling you? What about reading the menu while dining at a restaurant? Have you ever been shopping but forgot your reading glasses so you end up asking someone to read the price tag for you? Well, if the answer is YES to any of the above, then you are in luck! Near Vision or NV LASIK could be the answer!!!
NEAR VISION OR NV LASIK A Solution for People with Age-Related Vision Problems
Starting at approximately 38 years old, most people will begin to notice that reading and other near tasks are not as easy as they once were. Focusing up close becomes more difficult. By the mid 40s, many must struggle to read a menu and are unable to read a price tag at a store without using reading glasses. For these people there is now a choice that can decrease their dependence on glasses and can help them see both near and far.
NV LASIK is a new form of LASIK treatment for people with presbyopia (age-related near vision problems). Unlike typical LASIK surgery, only one eye is treated. This eye is given a small amount of near-sightedness for reading and near work. This allows the recipient to live a normal life without needing to carry a pair of glasses everywhere they go for even simple tasks such as looking at a menu.
Some Facts about NV LASIK at TRSC:
