If you have trouble with your (reading) glasses, refractive surgery offers various procedures to give you more independence from your reading glasses if you have presbyopia. Read more about the surgical methods that are an option for treatment of presbyopia on these pages.
What is presbyopia (age-related farsightedness)?
Presbyopia is not caused by an error in the eye's "optical structure" but by the flexibility of the eye's lens decreasing when you get older which causes increasing farsightedness; therefore, it is also frequently referred to as age-related farsightedness.
To be able to see small print or nearby objects clearly, most people wear reading glasses. However, it takes some getting used to those, and some people don't feel comfortable with them. If you have presbyopia but want to live independently from your reading glasses, we can offer you modern laser or lens surgery procedures to improve your near-distance vision.
Choosing your surgeon is a material factor for your surgical result. Dr. Breyer is considered a pioneer and specialist for cataract and refractive surgery internationally and has been included in the Top-Mediziner list of doctors curated by the magazine Focus since 2013. He has contributed to developing the minimally invasive surgical technique for cataract surgery and has been using a femtosecond laser at the patient's option for cataract surgery since 2012. Furthermore, the selection of premium lenses is also one of his fields of expertise. In 2015, he developed blended vision according to the Düsseldorf formula and was awarded a prize in the "innovation" category of the Congress of European Eye Surgeons for it.
