Presbyopia is a phenomenon of the aging of the eye quite normal that affects more than 7 out of 10 people over 45 years old . The ciliary muscles are relaxed and the lens no longer does its work of focusing; this causes the individual discomfort for near vision. It then becomes difficult to read, to work meticulously, to sew... In order to correct presbyopia and regain comfort of sight and a "normal" life, there are several solutions: Glasses ( reading, proximity or progressive ) but also contact lenses and laser surgery.
