The solution to presbyopia is primarily visual correction aids, i.e. glasses or contact lenses. Of course, as the lens ages, the dioptres will have to be adjusted, too.

Monovision is another special method that uses different lenses, one spherical contact lens for distant and for near objects.

Another form of treatment is surgery. Newer methods include Raindrop, a lens implant containing microscopic hydrogel.

PRELEX, a surgery in which the original lens is replaced with an artificial one, is also a well-known approach. The artificial lens can be of various types, such as bifocal or multifocal.

PRELEX stands for PREsbyopic Lens Exchange.

Other methods are LASIK, FEMTO LDV Z8, and corneal implant. It is important to have the eyes examined by a specialist, who can then recommend a suitable type of treatment.

The secondary medical school in Nitra gave me the basis for my career in the field of health and diseases. Thanks to it, I worked for 2 years in the traumatology clinic and outpatient clinic at the Nitra Hospital. Since 2006 I was employed in the emergency medical service, where I stayed until 2017. I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra in the field of emergency health care. The bachelor's degree allowed me to continue my mission as a paramedic. In the meantime, I got a job at the emergency line 155. I have been working in pre-hospital health care until today. I had an interest in people, health and even diseases in my childhood, which gave me the prerequisite to pursue this topic in adulthood. Studying and acquiring new information in practice provided me with a great basis for writing professional texts, in the form of articles that can be understood by ordinary people. Thus, my interest in the Health Portal has a solid foundation in years of practice and personal interest. Similarly, I am also interested in healthy eating, nutrition and overall healthy lifestyle. I fill my free time with family and sports.
