Do You Have Any Problems Using Addition Lenses?
In themselves, the addition lenses that allow near vision sharp and had no problem comfortably, provided they are of adequate power and are correctly adapted, at the right time and in the most favorable to the individual. As for the opportune time, as we have said is as soon as possible once problems are detected.
Determining the appropriate value of the lenses and correct alignment must be performed by a trained professional. Addition lenses can be tailored to the patient in various ways according to their needs and desires.
In what ways can we use addition lenses?
The most direct way to bring about addition lenses is the type of use of monofocal and put them on a rimmed glasses. These glasses are used only at the time that we will carry out close and have the disadvantage that if we raise our eyes to see distant objects, they will look blurry. For this reason, can not be used while we travel, unless the glasses mounted “half moon”, although this type of glasses do not usually have public favor less aesthetic in appearance.
To avoid the above problems have been traditionally used bifocals, which let you see both distance and near. Among other drawbacks, is that not very aesthetic as you can see the lens drawn on the lines of separation between the industry by far and near. Moreover, as age increases, but not get to see buffer zones such as product prices in the shops. Progressive lenses have solved all these problems and are currently the best solution to avoid the problems associated with presbyopia.
Is it inevitable wearing glasses?
There are now contact lenses of different designs that allow the vision at all distances. The easiest way to do this is to adjust the lenses so that one eye looks good from a distance and another near it is a procedure called monovision.
It may be helpful for some people, but has the disadvantage that they can disturb the correct depth perception and cause difficulties in certain tasks, eg driving cars.
There are also bifocal contact lenses and multifocal, but so far not been achieved to provide good vision designs permanently to users.
In any case, the choice of procedure for presbyopia correction must be made jointly between the practitioner and the user, based on the requirements and personal circumstances of the latter.
