also called age-related focus dysfunction as it is associated with ageing and considered unavoidable, so many people need reading glasses at some point in their lives.

An eye surgery can easily correct presbyopia permanently. The primary two types of procedures that one can choose from in Istanbul, Turkey are LASIK surgery for presbyopia and presbyopia lens replacement surgery.
