Recently, Nintenod has been promoting a new game package for its handheld DS system. The package, referred to as Flash Focus, is a series of exercises for your eyes, ostensibly to stave off vision loss that occurs as we age. Extremely common in Japan, Nintendo is hoping to target a diverse sector of the American marketplace with this product. The question is: if you want far better vision, can eye exercises support?
When we are young, our healthy eyes work well in seeing both near and far. As the eyes age, troubles with nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia may start to appear. And even though eye exercises may appear like a logical way to improve vision strength, in reality they appear to be of small value.
Presbyopia is of specific concern to older people. Although no 1 knows the exact trigger of the disease, It has also been postulated that a weakness in the muscles makes them unable to compress and bend the lens as necessary to make it focus on objects at diverse distances. Nevertheless, because eye exercises seem to be of little use in correcting the illness, it seems unlikely that the muscles are the dilemma. The most common theory for the cause of presbyopia is that the lens loses elasticity, making it harder for the muscles to bend it to focus up close. Fortunately, remedies exist.
A lot of folks wear reading glasses to cope with presbyopia. Thankfully, modern technology now offers the intraocular lens, also known as an artificial lens, to solve this aggravating vision problem.
The intraocular lens works when implanted in the eye, replacing the stiffened crystalline lens. Intraocular lenses can be multifocal so that patients are able to see both up close and at a distance.
If you’re struggling with presbyopia, why continue when the difficulty can be solved so swiftly and effortlessly? The Sacramento LASIK surgeons at Griffin & Reed Eye Care would be happy to discuss your vision needs in a private consultation.
