What Are The Vision Correction Options For Over 45s?

Vision Correction Options Over 50

The treatment options for vision correction over 50 vision are much more diverse than people believe.

It is commonly assumed that laser surgery is the best option but as we reach our fifties, lens replacement procedures have many more benefits for vision correction than laser eye surgery.

At the age of 50, the natural lens within the eye loses its functionality and becomes more rigid. As a result, people may notice that objects and text that are held close by become more blurred. This is called presbyopia.

With modern lifestyles and particularly with the advent of mobile phones, we are used to varying our point of focus from far to near at an instant. The desire to regain the vision when we were young and to be spectacle or contact lens independent is now increasingly common. Thankfully this is achievable with surgery.

Laser eye surgery over 50

Laser eye surgery may be an option if you are able to adapt to having one eye set for near and one eye set for distance – a technique called mono vision.

If, following testing, you are unable to adapt to this then lens exchange is an excellent solution. Modern intra-ocular lens designs allow for vision to be corrected at far, intermediate and near with the use of trifocal lens technology.

The surgery takes no more than 10 minutes to perform and is very similar to cataract surgery which is one of the most common procedures in the world. The use of premium lens technology allows for the vision to be fully restored.

Lens replacement is a proven, permanent procedure for correcting any prescription, be it long or short sight and astigmatism.

Dr Tappin and the team at LaserVision were amazing. I underwent Lasik corrective surgery and the process could not have been smoother. I was guided through the process with care and professionalism throughout. My results have been outstanding. I could not have asked for more from the team at LaserVision and I am truly grateful for my new vision.

Utterly professional and caring from start to finish. I was quite nervous about having laser but am so pleased with the results. There has always been someone to advise and support every step of the way and patient care and well being really is the priority here. Thank you for looking after me and my eyes so well.

Dr Jayaswal has been amazing and changed my life. He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed in his care at the first meet, to remembering me with a personalised greeting, calmly explaining the procedure and reassuring me all the way through the surgery. I couldn’t recommend him enough for Lasik eye surgery - I now have perfect vision, a real dream come true! Thank you so much!

I had lens replacement surgery. After being both short sighted and long sighted for decades I can now see near and far without glasses or contact lens. It really is amazing. The care was great and so far the recovery has been easy.

Amazing service from start to finish, I had LASIK surgery in August this year after years of consideration I finally took the plunge and went for the surgery with Mr Tappin. Mr Mike Tappin and his team were brilliant from the consultation right through to the surgery and aftercare. Mr Tappin and his team were very reassuring throughout the surgery and put me at ease every step of the way. If you are thinking about having laser eye treatment or at the start of your journey with it, I would highly recommend seeing Mr Tappin and his team!
