Frequently Asked Questions

Can presbyopia be prevented?

No, presbyopia is a natural part of aging that affects nearly everyone, usually starting in the early to mid-40s. It cannot be prevented, but there are many effective treatment options.

What's the difference between progressive lenses and bifocals?

Progressive lenses provide a seamless transition between distance and near vision without visible lines. Bifocals have a visible line and only two focal points without intermediate vision.

Are there surgical options for presbyopia?

Yes, options include monovision LASIK (one eye for distance, one for near), multifocal lens implants during cataract surgery, and corneal inlays that improve near vision.

Does insurance cover Presbyopia treatment?

Most vision and medical insurance plans cover diagnostic exams and medically necessary treatments. We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your coverage before treatment.
