Can I have LASIK if I wear bifocals?

There is a laser vision correction solution for patients who wear bifocals. Recently, the FDA approved the laser vision correction procedure LASIK for patients who have presbyopia as well as nearsightedness.

Presbyopia, also known as “old eyes”, is a common condition most patients begin to experience in their 40s or 50s. When a patient is presbyopic they have difficulty seeing objects close up because the eye’s natural lens has become less pliable.

To see if you are ready to put away your bifocals and decide if vision correction surgery is right for you, schedule a complimentary consultation with ClearView.
