Presbyopia: An Overview
Presbyopia is another eye condition that affects the lens of the eye and occurs
naturally as you age. Presbyopia makes it difficult to focus on objects close to
you. One of the most common symptoms is the need to hold objects, such as magazines
or phones, farther away in order to see them. Having both cataracts and presbyopia
makes objects blurry at any distance.
Presbyopia-Correcting Cataract Surgery
Fortunately, new advances in eye surgery have led to solutions that correct both
cataracts and presbyopia at once. If you are replacing a clouded lens with a new
artificial intraocular lens (IOL), the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOL can
correct presbyopia as well. These IOLs can help you see near to far and everything in between.1
