Lasik Surgery After 40 - What Your Surgeon May Not Be Telling You

Does the prospect of lasik or another vision correction surgery have you excited to ditch your contacts or glasses? Lasik surgery is definitely a life changing surgery, but if you are over 40, it may not change your vision in a favorable manner.

Lasik surgery alters the shape of the cornea in an effort to bend light in a different manner. So to correct basic vision, altering the shape of the cornea with consideration of overall eye length will work wonders. This is why lasik, PRK, and other vision corrective surgeries work and why they focus on the cornea itself.

Presbyopia is caused by natural changes inside the eye to the crystalline lens and surrounding muscle tissue.

Unfortunately, so many people who have presbyopia are led to believe the vision corrective surgery will cure this inconvenience. The reality is that presbyopia has absolutely nothing to with either the cornea or eye length. Therefore, reshaping the cornea in the manner that Lasik surgery does will not help an eye to regain its adaptive focus.

Some people opt to have one eye corrected for a close range reading distance, and the other corrected for actual far distance. Whether progressive, bifocals, or reading glasses; spectacle lenses are the only guaranteed way to correct presbyopia.

Ask your surgeon about presbyopia and what you can expect after lasik surgery.
