Presbyopia 4: Summary of Why We Need Reading Glasses and New Alternatives
Presbyopia is the need for reading glasses that imposes itself on just about everyone sometime after age 40. The main reason this happens is the natural lens progressively loses its flexibility. Traditional treatment options include glasses (readers, bifocals, or progressives) and contact lenses. However, the desire to be free of glasses has led to new alternative treatments.
This is video 4, a summary of the three in depth subject videos.
Video 1 covers the background of how the eye focuses, why presbyopia happens and glasses options.
Video 2 covers pharmacologic (eyedrop) options.
Video 3 covers surgical options that have been in development and continue to evolve.

The desire to be free of glasses (reading glasses, bifocals, progressives) or contacts has led to various surgical remedies.

Presbyopia is the need for reading glasses that imposes itself on just about everyone sometime after age 40.

Presbyopia is the need for reading glasses that imposes itself on just about everyone sometime after age 40. In this video we explore how presbyopia happens. The traditional and leading theory is that the lens progressively loses flexibility, while the focusing muscles retain their ability to contract long after the lens can no longer respond. The traditional answer is glasses (reading glasses,...

    I first learned about vitrectomy about 20 years ago, and was horrified by everything about it. 2 months ago, I had a cataract surgery in my one eye with adequate vision which dropped lens fragments into the back of my eye, which caused my eye pressure to spike high enough to kill my optic nerve within a few weeks. Instead, a vitrectomy removed the lens fragments and thus halted my eye's self-destruct sequence. As a bonus, I also got rid of the countless floaters that have annoyed me my entire life. A month after the vitrectomy, I still have some visual acuity issues, but I'm not blind. The surgery which terrified me more than any other is now the surgery I value over any other. I'm sure there's some lesson to be found in this. 🙂

      May I ask how did your eye feel after the surgery and how long did you had to take time off for this surgery? i.e. thinking of when one well enough to go back to work (computer desk work) and how about driving? (I understand that recovery does take at least a few months). Thank you.

    • @isomeme
      @isomeme 3 дня назад

      @@Jess-th9qe , my eye was achy for several days, and noticeably irritated for a couple of weeks. In my case there have been further problems with my cornea which have kept me from going back to work, but if these hadn't happened, I think I would have been able to resume work 3-4 weeks after the surgery. Of course, every case is different, so asking your doctor is likely to provide more useful information than asking me. 🙂 Good luck!

    2 yrs of Avastin injections for Macular Degeneration caused what they are saying is irreversible scarring in my dad’s eye. Seems so oxymoronic that the medicine he went through 2 yrs of painful injections - actually now made his eyes scarred… and don’t know what to do now for him. He now is having troubles doing daily tasks and needs assistance with everything from bathing to eating. I feel like they experimented on my dad … Can he now reverse the scarring from Avastin? Feeling so sad and frustrated with the medical system. His eye is completely scarred from Avastin- what can we do now???

    Hello! I have a hard time understanding the tristimulus chart. I thought the CIE diagram was based on the normalized responsivity spectra of human cone cells, not on the linear combination component values of a wavelength onto the 700 nm, 546.1 nm and 435.8 nm. Or are they the same thing? And why is the tristimulus chart negative? And why those particular wave lengths? Thanks!

    My ophthalmologist said there’s nothing that could be done about my vitreous floaters. I told her they are a nuisance especially when driving and she quickly dismissed me telling me that it’s normal and it’s not a cause for concern. When their clearly is procedures to treat floaters. She must’ve gotten her ophthalmology degree from dollar tree 🙄

    I have a question that I'm wondering if you might know the answer to. With regards to astigmatism, what might cause the distance to the test to change which direction the lines are blurry and clear? Close up the horizontal lines are more clear and the vertical most fuzzy, but when at a distance that is not say reading distance to perhaps a monitor and further away it's the opposite. So when further away the horizontal lines are now fuzzy yet the vertical lines are now clear. If it were the shape of my eye lens or cornea wouldn't they be the same or similar direction no matter the distance?

    Vuety drops are a waste of money. Considering the active ingredient is available in 10 ml bottles and is an old generic drug pilocarpine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution. It’s “ok” but don’t try to drive at night . Since your pupil can’t dilate, your eye cannot increase the amount of light when there is less light available. Also, I had mono vision LASIK done and it was also useless. One eye is now corrected for distance, with the other set for near vision. My brain didn’t adjust and the near vision is wrecking my distance vision. It’s aweful as my eyes fight one another.

    Spectral colors can be distinguished from a mixing of other colors when illuminating a color image. For example, the almost spectral yellow from a sodium vapor lamp will make a color photo look monochrome. The same photo illuminated by a mixture of red and green light will reveal red, orange yellow and green.

    I have experienced the "aura-only" about four times. The hand drawn images are not accurate. You show a portrait with black, white, flesh-color, and gray. My auras only contain the colors of the original image. My last experience was while reading black and white on a computer monitor; my aura was in black and white ONLY. The original image is somehow scrambled but the original colors are transformed.
