The best way to ensure that you get the most out of your investment in laser eye surgery is to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon. You also need to be sure to follow all of your surgeon’s post-operative instructions. It is important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of your surgery. Most people achieve very good to excellent vision following laser eye surgery, but a small percentage of people may still need to wear glasses or contact lenses for some activities.
As people age, they may experience a decline in vision. This can be due to a number of factors, including presbyopia, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration. southwest eyecare and laser treatment can help to improve vision and reduce the symptoms of these conditions.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a condition in which the eye’s lens becomes less flexible, making it difficult to focus on close objects. Presbyopia is a normal part of the aging process and usually begins to develop in people in their 40s. There are a number of treatments available for presbyopia, including eyeglasses, contact lenses, and surgery.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens. Cataracts are common in older adults and can cause blurry vision, trouble seeing at night, and a sensitivity to light. Cataract surgery is the only effective treatment for cataracts. During surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens.
Age-related macular degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a condition that causes the deterioration of the macula, the part of the eye responsible for central vision. AMD is the leading cause of blindness in people over the age of 50. There is no cure for AMD, but treatments can slow its progression and improve vision. These treatments include eyeglasses, contact lenses, and surgery.
Dry eye
Dry eye is a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears, or the tears that are produced are of poor quality. Dry eye can cause symptoms such as burning, itching, and redness. There are a number of treatments available for dry eye, including artificial tears, eye drops, and surgery.
