• #1 New insights in presbyopia: impact of correction strategies

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9887707/

  Presbyopia has a significant impact on an individuals quality of life and emotional state. […] A standardised definition of presbyopia should be adopted, an appropriate battery of tests should be applied in evaluating presbyopic management options and the results of clinical trials should be published (even if unsuccessful) to accelerate the provision of better outcomes for presbyopes. […] While a range of amelioration strategies exist, they are often difficult to access in the developing world and prescribing is generally not optimal even in developed countries. […] Despite not explicitly defining presbyopia as relating to the inability to perform near tasks, Mah argues presbyopia is a medical condition and a disease. […] The negative patient impact of presbyopia on visual function and quality of life is of global significance.

  Presbyopia is part of the natural aging process, and its not a disease. Its a common type of refractive error that eye care specialists can easily correct with glasses, contacts or surgery. […] Presbyopia generally starts to develop around age 40 and gets worse until your mid-60s. […] Talk to an eye care specialist about your symptoms and their impact on your daily life. Theyll help you find the most suitable corrective methods. You may need to try several different methods before finding one that works well for your needs and lifestyle.

  Presbyopia cannot be reversed and gets worse as we get older. Vision changes stop around age 65. […] The condition will continue to get worse, and then stabilize. With proper corrective glasses or contact lenses, you’ll still be able to read and do other close-work as well as ever.

  https://www.everydayhealth.com/presbyopia/guide/

  Once you have presbyopia, you’ll have it for life. The good news is, there are many treatments that may help you to see better. […] The condition tends to get worse until the age of 65, at which point the eyes’ lenses have lost most of their elasticity. But there’s a little bit of good news here, in that you won’t need to continue to change your reading glasses prescription. […] There’s no cure for presbyopia. Treatment consists of wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses, or possibly getting a corrective surgery that may help improve your near vision. […] If you don’t want to wear glasses or contact lenses, talk to your doctor about a surgical procedure for presbyopia.

  The data indicate that a near visual acuity of better than 0.0 logMAR is needed for comfortable near vision and it was proposed this may represent a useful threshold in the diagnosis of presbyopia and clinical analysis of treatment options. […] Presbyopia is undercorrected in many low-income and middle-income countries, with reading correction available for only 6%45% of those who require this due to a lack of adequate diagnosis and affordable treatment. […] The burden of presbyopia on productivity is variable across regions, and potential loss of GDP depends on factors including prevalence, mortality and employment rates, in addition to the nations level of development. […] Studies of presbyopia progression are relatively scarce; conventionally, the typical rate of progression of near add power has been cited as +0.10 D/year, based on data largely derived from Caucasian individuals. […] A recent systematic review of the burden of presbyopia highlighted the paucity of data regarding productivity and economic issues.

  Approximately half of the participants had difficulty with near vision activities, such as reading newspapers or using mobile phones. […] Among all the participants, 76% were not aware of presbyopia. […] The prevalence of uncorrected presbyopia was 48% of the 785. […] The majority (82%) felt that spectacles were acceptable for correction of presbyopia. […] Most reported that they did not experience social stigma when using reading spectacles (87% of participants). […] When asked if they were aware of management approaches other than spectacles, 72% responded with not at all. […] Most participants had no earlier knowledge of the use of multifocal contact lenses or eye drops for presbyopia correction (67% and 82%, respectively).

• #24 Patient-reported outcome measures in presbyopia: a literature review

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7359053/

  Presbyopia is the age-related loss of near-distance focusing ability. […] The aim of this study was to identify patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used in clinical trials and quality-of-life studies conducted in individuals with presbyopia and to assess their suitability for use in individuals with phakic presbyopia. […] Most PROMs were developed prior to release of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 2009 patient-reported outcome guidance and did not satisfy regulatory standards. […] The Near Activity Visual Questionnaire (NAVQ) was identified as the most appropriate for assessing near-vision functioning in presbyopia. […] While the NAVQ was developed in line with the FDA guidance, the items do not reflect changes in technology that have occurred since the questionnaire was developed in 2008 (eg, the increase in smartphone use), and the measure was not validated in a purely phakic presbyopia sample.

But there’s a little bit of good news here, in that you won’t need to continue to change your reading glasses prescription. […] There’s no cure for presbyopia.

[…] If you don’t want to wear glasses or contact lenses, talk to your doctor about a surgical procedure for presbyopia.
