Presbyopia Treatment in Cape Town

Restore Your Near Vision Without Constantly Reaching for Reading Glasses

What is Presbyopia?
Presbyopia is a natural, age-related eye condition that affects nearly everyone over the age of 40. It makes it increasingly difficult to focus on close-up tasks – like reading, using your phone, or working on a computer. While reading glasses offer a simple solution, constantly needing them can be frustrating.

Fortunately, several modern surgical options can reduce your dependence on glasses.

Monovision Treatment

Monovision is a popular solution for presbyopia. In this treatment, we correct your dominant eye for distance vision and your non-dominant eye for near vision. This can be achieved through:

  • All-laser iLASIK (Femto-LASIK)

  • Intraocular lens implantation during cataract surgery

Many patients report significantly less need for reading glasses after monovision surgery.

Multifocal Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

Multifocal IOLs are becoming a preferred option during cataract surgery. These advanced lenses provide clear vision at:

  • Distance

  • Intermediate range

  • Close-up

In many cases, patients enjoy complete independence from spectacles after surgery.

Presbyopic Implantable Contact Lenses (IPCL)

Now available in Cape Town, the presbyopic IPCL offers a groundbreaking option for people aged 45 to 55. This lens can correct:

  • Nearsightedness (myopia)

  • Farsightedness (hyperopia)

  • Presbyopia (age-related reading difficulty)

How It Works:

  • A soft lens is inserted behind the iris through a 2.8mm incision.

  • It sits in front of your natural lens.

  • Two micro-holes allow for natural fluid flow, reducing glare.

  • The material is biocompatible and customised to your eye.

Benefits:

  • No corneal tissue is removed

  • Natural lens stays intact (preserving accommodation)

  • Fast recovery and stable long-term results

  • Reversible and safe
