Near Vision Presbyopia

As we age, the lenses in our eyes lose their elasticity, resulting in blurred near vision. This process happens to everyone, making common, every day tasks like reading instructions, menus, and documents troublesome. This can often cause people to resort to reading glasses as an alternative to the blurry, unfocused jumble of words they see when not wearing them.

Alternatives to reading glasses do exist, and the optometrists at Gailey Eye Clinic are trained in helping people find the solutions that work best for them. Among your treatment options are:

  • NearVision CK, a quick and effective solution that uses radio frequency energy to reshape the cornea, allowing more light to enter the eye and immediately improving vision
  • Multifocal intraocular lenses are artificial lenses that can replace your natural lenses for increased eyesight
  • Cataract surgery, in patients with cataracts in addition to nearsightedness, can improve vision

Many options exist to help restore the vision you have lost due to ageing. The optometrists at Gailey Eye Clinic will work closely with you to determine which options best suit your needs.

Even if your eyesight has always been perfect, near vision presbyopia is an unavoidable part of life. But unlike the condition, your choices of treatment are completely within your control.

If you live in Central Illinois and are troubled by any decrease in your vision, please contact Gailey Eye Clinic today to set up an initial consultation and review your treatment options.

NearVision CK

Are you tired of having to put reading glasses on each time you pick up a paper, work on your computer, or pop open your latest great read? NearVision CK is an exciting, new treatment option for those over 40 who suffer from nearsightedness, farsightedness, and even hyperopia. A safe, exceedingly fast alternative to laser surgery, NearVision CK uses radio frequency energy to reshape and steepen your cornea, allowing more light to come through, resulting in improved vision. The experienced doctors at Gailey Eye Clinic are excited to be able to offer this new treatment.

NearVision CK Procedure

A topical anesthetic is applied in the form of eye drops to minimize discomfort. Once you are sufficiently comfortable, our physicians will apply controlled radio frequency energy in a circular motion to shrink the corneal tissue. Applied to the periphery of the cornea, this pattern allows for no interference with your pupil. The entire procedure can take less than five minutes, requires no eye patches, and can produce results in as little as one day. Most patients see a marked improvement in their eyesight within one short week.

Imagine not having to carry your reading glasses with you. Not having to pull them out each time a client shows you a proposal, or a child shows you his homework. The benefits of NearVision CK far outweigh the costs, and with Gailey Eye Clinic's financing options, there’s never been a better time to permanently improve your vision.

If you're tired of the inconvenience of reading glasses and you live in Central Illinois, please contact the NearVision CK professionals at Gailey Eye Clinic for a no risk consultation.
