Then a new surgical procedure is going to open up a whole new world of freedom and vision.

Presbyopia is the most common eye condition in Australia, and affects many people over the age of 45. The symptoms include difficulty seeing near objects - such as newspapers and websites - while your long distance vision remains fine.

It's a natural result of aging, as the lens in your eye loses its elasticity - its ability to flex to focus on close objects as well as far away ones.

Until now, the way to address presbyopia has been reading glasses, or Phacoemulsification where an ultrasonic device is used to break up and then remove a cloudy lens from the eye.

Now, however, there's a new, simple and reversible procedure called AcuFocus. AcuFocus is also available for patients who have had LASIK surgery.
