Ages 41-60

Do you find yourself frustrated by the daily struggle with reading glasses?

You are not alone. Almost everyone over the age of 40 will experience some level or presbyopia and will eventually require the aid of readers. Presbyopia is a naturally occurring symptom that is merely an effect of the aging process. Your eyes natural lens begins to deplete in its natural elasticity and you’ll find yourself challenged by reading small print and things that are up close.

Whether you have previously been treated with LASIK, other laser vision correction or have had great vision throughout your entire life, Rocky Mountain Ophthalmology wants to help! We offer an array of solutions to help you find the visual freedom you desire.

Monovision LASIK

If you have previously been treated for vision correction with laser vision correction surgery, and have recently been experiencing the need for reading glasses to see things up close, such as your computer screen or a pill bottle, you are experiencing the onset of presbyopia. A recent development called Monovision LASIK is an application that will adjust the vision of one eye to see far away objects and one eye to see up close. Your brain then works to create a balance between the two, allowing you to rid yourself of reading glasses! Contact Dr. Cuevas and his team at RMO today to discuss your options for a life free of reading glasses and the vision of your dreams!

PRELEX

For an additional option that will help restore your vision to that of your youth, PRELEX is a treatment that utilizes a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) to create a new visual structure inside the eye allowing you to see both near and far.
