Starczowzroczność
Diagnostyka i diagnoza

Prezbiopia to naturalny proces starzenia się oka, charakteryzujący się stopniową utratą zdolności akomodacji i ostrego widzenia z bliska, zwykle ujawniający się między 40. a 45. rokiem życia i postępujący do około 65. roku życia. Diagnostyka obejmuje kompleksowe badanie refrakcji z użyciem foroptera, ocenę ostrości wzroku, badanie dna oka (oftalmoskopia), test integralności mięśni oraz perymetrię. Kluczowym parametrem jest przesunięcie bliskiego punktu akomodacji (NPA) poza standardową odległość czytania, potwierdzane zarówno subiektywnie, jak i obiektywnie (retinoskopia z bliska). Objawy kliniczne to m.in. trudności w czytaniu drobnego druku, niewyraźne widzenie z bliska, zmęczenie oczu i bóle głowy podczas pracy z bliska oraz potrzeba zwiększonego oświetlenia. Zalecane są regularne badania wzroku, szczególnie po 40. roku życia, z częstotliwością dostosowaną do wieku i czynników ryzyka (np. co 1-3 lata dla osób 55-64 lata, co 1-2 lata po 65. roku życia).

Diagnoza prezbiopii (starczowzroczności)

Prezbiopia (starczowzroczność) to stan, w którym oko stopniowo traci zdolność do ostrego widzenia przedmiotów z bliskiej odległości. Jest to naturalny proces związany ze starzeniem się organizmu, wynikający ze zmniejszenia elastyczności soczewki oka. Prezbiopia zazwyczaj staje się zauważalna w wieku 40-45 lat i postępuje do około 65. roku życia.12

Badanie podstawowe oka

Prezbiopia jest diagnozowana podczas kompleksowego badania oka, które obejmuje ocenę refrakcji oraz badanie stanu zdrowia oka. Podczas wizyty u specjalisty ochrony wzroku zostanie przeprowadzona seria testów mających na celu potwierdzenie diagnozy.34

Kluczowym elementem badania jest ocena refrakcji, która pozwala określić, czy pacjent ma krótkowzroczność, dalekowzroczność, astygmatyzm lub prezbiopię. Badanie to mierzy, jak dobrze pacjent widzi obiekty znajdujące się w określonych odległościach.56

Podczas badania refrakcji specjalista używa małego instrumentu zwanego foropter lub innych urządzeń do pomiaru mocy refrakcyjnej oczu. Pacjent jest proszony o patrzenie na tablice okulistyczne, ekran projektora lub inny ekran. Tablice te zawierają litery, cyfry lub przerwane pierścienie o zmniejszającej się wielkości.7

Ponieważ wzrok jest zazwyczaj różny w każdym oku, oczy są badane oddzielnie poprzez zakrycie jednego oka, a następnie drugiego. Test określa, jakiego rodzaju soczewki korekcyjne są potrzebne do poprawy widzenia.8

Badanie rozszerzonych źrenic

Okulista prawdopodobnie zakropi oczy, aby rozszerzyć źrenice podczas badania stanu zdrowia oka. Rozszerzenie źrenic umożliwia lekarzowi łatwiejszy wgląd do wnętrza oka, co jest istotne dla wykluczenia innych schorzeń.910

Badanie dna oka (oftalmoskopia lub funduskopia) pozwala na ocenę siatkówki. Przeprowadzany jest również test integralności mięśni, w którym oceniana jest zdolność do śledzenia poruszającego się obiektu.11

Ocena ostrości wzroku

Test ostrości wzroku, który jest najbardziej znanym elementem badania okulistycznego, wykonuje się za pomocą tablicy. Ma on na celu określenie zdolności widzenia ostro i wyraźnie na wszystkich odległościach.1213

Okulista sprawdzi również koordynację oczu i kontrolę mięśni pod kątem zmęczenia wzroku, a także zdolność oczu do zmiany ostrości. Wszystkie te czynniki są ważne dla prawidłowego funkcjonowania wzroku.14

Specjalistyczne testy diagnostyczne

W prezbiopii obserwuje się, że bliski punkt akomodacji (NPA) przesuwa się poza zwykłą odległość czytania. Ocena jest subiektywna. Pacjenci są proszeni o trzymanie celu do czytania na bliskiej odległości w zwykłej odległości czytania, a następnie dodawane są soczewki.15

Retinskopia z bliska zapewnia obiektywny pomiar wymaganej mocy optycznej dla wyraźnego widzenia z bliska. Testowanie na odległości pośredniej może być również uzasadnione w przypadku pacjentów o specyficznych potrzebach wzrokowych (np. praca przy komputerze) i zaawansowanej prezbiopii.16

Badanie przy lampie szczelinowej jest niezbędne do określenia, czy komórki w przedniej części oka są uszkodzone. Testowanie pola widzenia, zwane również perymetrią, wykonuje się w celu określenia, czy występują jakiekolwiek deficyty w polu widzenia pacjenta.17

Charakterystyczne objawy prezbiopii

Prezbiopia charakteryzuje się następującymi objawami, które pomagają w postawieniu diagnozy:1819

  • Trudności z czytaniem drobnego druku
  • Niewyraźne widzenie z bliska
  • Doświadczanie zmęczenia oczu, znużenia lub bólów głowy podczas pracy z bliska lub czytania
  • Potrzeba trzymania materiałów do czytania lub małych przedmiotów w większej odległości, aby uzyskać wyraźny obraz
  • Wymaganie jaśniejszego oświetlenia podczas skupiania się na obiektach znajdujących się w pobliżu

2021

Pacjenci w wieku około 40 lat zgłaszają się z trudnościami w czytaniu drobnego druku z normalnej odległości. Prezbiopia została również nazwana „wzrokiem długiego ramienia”, ponieważ ludzie mają tendencję do wyciągania ramion jak najdalej, aby móc czytać.2223

Zalecana częstotliwość badań oka

Amerykańska Akademia Okulistyki zaleca następujące częstotliwości badań wzroku u dorosłych:2425

  • Poniżej 40 roku życia: co 5-10 lat
  • 40-54 lata: co 2-4 lata
  • 55-64 lata: co 1-3 lata
  • 65 lat i więcej: co 1-2 lata

2627

Osoby noszące okulary lub soczewki kontaktowe, lub mające ryzyko rozwoju chorób oczu, powinny mieć badanie wzroku co roku.28

Badanie podstawowe rekomendowane jest dla wszystkich dorosłych w wieku 40 lat, nawet jeśli nie występują żadne objawy, ponieważ w tym wieku mogą zacząć się zmiany w oczach, czasem bez żadnych symptomów.29

Opcje terapeutyczne dla prezbiopii

Prezbiopia nie może być wyleczona ani odwrócona, ponieważ jest naturalnym procesem starzenia się. Obecne opcje leczenia skupiają się na korygowaniu objawów niewyraźnego widzenia z bliska, a nie na leczeniu pierwotnej przyczyny zmniejszonej elastyczności soczewki oka.3031

Korekcja okularowa

Okulary są jednym z najprostszych i najczęstszych sposobów korygowania prezbiopii. Osoby, które właśnie zostały zdiagnozowane z prezbiopią i nie mają innych wad wzroku, mogą korzystać z okularów do czytania dostępnych bez recepty w aptece.3233

Dla osób, które mają również inne wady wzroku, takie jak krótkowzroczność, dalekowzroczność lub astygmatyzm, dostępne są:3435

  • Okulary dwuogniskowe (bifokale) – mają soczewki z dwoma różnymi mocami: górna część do widzenia na odległość, a dolna część do widzenia z bliska.
  • Okulary wieloogniskowe (multifokale), takie jak soczewki progresywne (PAL), które zapewniają płynne przejście między różnymi mocami soczewek do widzenia na różnych odległościach.

3637

Soczewki kontaktowe

Dla osób preferujących soczewki kontaktowe zamiast okularów dostępne są:3839

  • Soczewki dwuogniskowe i wieloogniskowe – dostępne zarówno w miękkich, jak i sztywnych gazoprzepuszczalnych (RGP) wariantach.
  • Monovision – technika, w której jedna soczewka koryguje widzenie na odległość, a druga widzenie z bliska.

4041

Zabiegi chirurgiczne

Dostępne są również procedury chirurgiczne do leczenia prezbiopii:4243

  • Monovision LASIK – zabieg laserowy korygujący jedno oko do widzenia na odległość, a drugie do widzenia z bliska.
  • Keratoplastyka konduktywna (CK) – wykorzystuje fale radiowe za pomocą ręcznego instrumentu do modelowania powierzchni rogówki w celu poprawy widzenia z bliska.
  • Implanty rogówkowe (inlays i onlays) – chirurgiczne wszczepianie małej soczewki do oka w celu zwiększenia ostrości i widzenia z bliska.
  • Wymiana soczewki refrakcyjnej (RLE) – zastępuje stwardniałą soczewkę w oku sztuczną soczewką wewnątrzgałkową (IOL), podobnie jak w przypadku operacji zaćmy.

Krople do oczu

Krople do oczu są nową opcją dla niektórych osób z prezbiopią. Krople z pilokarpiną (Vuity) powodują zwężenie źrenicy, co poprawia głębię ostrości i zapewnia wyraźniejsze widzenie z bliska. Są to pierwsze krople do oczu zatwierdzone przez amerykańską Agencję ds. Żywności i Leków (FDA) w leczeniu prezbiopii.4647

W badaniach klinicznych Vuity™ poprawiło zarówno widzenie z bliska, jak i pośrednie, nie wpływając na widzenie na odległość. Krople te można stosować codziennie, zapewniając kilka godzin poprawy ostrości widzenia z bliska.4849

Zalecenia dla pacjentów

Pacjenci z trudnościami w czytaniu z bliska powinni jak najwcześniej rozpocząć korzystanie z korekcji prezbiopii, aby uniknąć objawów astenopii (przemęczenia oczu). Nieleczona prezbiopia może prowadzić nie tylko do trudności w czytaniu z bliska, ale także do senności i bólów głowy.50

Ważne jest, aby porozmawiać ze specjalistą ochrony wzroku o swoich objawach i ich wpływie na codzienne życie. Pomogą oni znaleźć najbardziej odpowiednie metody korekcji. Być może konieczne będzie wypróbowanie kilku różnych metod, zanim znajdzie się tę, która dobrze sprawdza się w przypadku indywidualnych potrzeb i stylu życia.51

Ze względu na to, że prezbiopia dotyka tak dużą część populacji, wiele badań i prac rozwojowych jest prowadzonych w celu stworzenia większej liczby i lepszych opcji dla osób z prezbiopią. Warto regularnie konsultować się z okulistą, aby być na bieżąco z nowymi metodami leczenia.5253

    Corrected near and distance visual acuity testing allows for evaluation of a patients refractive error as well as their functional capacity at near distances. Uncorrected or under-corrected myopes will typically have less difficulty with near vision while the difficulties will be exacerbated in patients with uncorrected hyperopia. Refraction will provide a baseline distance correction to which the near value will be added to provide optical correction for presbyopia. Near lens prescription can be determined by adding plus power over the distance correction until clear near vision is achieved. […] Near retinoscopy will provide an objective measurement of the required optical power for clear near vision.
