Presbyopia is an age-related condition that affects the ability to see close objects clearly. It's a natural part of aging that many adults experience, usually starting around the age of 40. The symptoms can be frustrating and inconvenient, often leading to difficulty in reading or performing close-up tasks. Thankfully, Kirk Eye Center, with locations in River Forest, Glen Ellyn, Gurnee, and Chicago, IL, is here to help.

  • What is Presbyopia? — Age-related difficulty focusing on close objects.
  • Symptoms — Struggling with reading and other close-up activities.

Can laser eye surgery treat farsightedness related to presbyopia?

Yes, laser eye surgery in Chicago can be a game-changing farsightedness treatment for those dealing with presbyopia. By reshaping the cornea through precise and advanced technology, laser eye surgery can provide a significant improvement in near vision. It's a cutting-edge solution offering many benefits.

  • Laser eye surgery benefits:
    • Reduction or removal of wearing glasses and contacts
    • Rapid recovery time
    • A long-lasting solution to help improve quality of life

What are the other farsightedness treatment options for presbyopia?

While laser eye surgery offers an innovative approach, it's not the only option available at Kirk Eye Center. For those who may not be suitable candidates for surgery, prescription glasses or contact lenses are often an effective and noninvasive solution for farsightedness treatment. These traditional methods can provide immediate relief and can be tailored to fit individual lifestyles and preferences.

Is laser eye surgery suitable for everyone with presbyopia?

Laser eye surgery offers a promising solution, but it may not be suitable for every individual dealing with presbyopia. Factors such as overall eye health, age, lifestyle, and individual vision needs are carefully assessed during a thorough consultation at our locations in River Forest, Glen Ellyn, Gurnee, or Chicago, IL. Our team of skilled professionals is dedicated to finding the best possible treatment plan tailored to each patient's unique needs and goals.

Great overall experience with my Lasik procedure for both my eyes. Dr. Kirk & the staff were fantastic throughout the entire process. I'm so pumped that I don't have to wear contacts or glasses ever again!

This is the second time I’ve been to Kirk Eye Center on Harlem. I could not be more pleased. I’ve never had to wait more than a minute or 2 after I arrive. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I’ve seen the technician Rose and Dr Kirk Jr both times and enjoyed being assisted by both. There is even plenty of parking. Glad to have them caring for my diabetic and other needs

This is absolutely no exaggeration. Dr Tyler Kirk saved my right eye. He is the reason I have vision in that eye. I will be a Kirk Eye Center customer for life!

Gurnee Kirk is my "go to home office". Recently had the Femto/Lasik cataract surgery at the surgical center in River Forest. I cannot begin to tell you how professional and yet personal everyone was I came in contact with. From the doctors and technicians, to staff and even the terrific van driver. Everything went so smoothly and I was informed every inch of the way in a very successful procedure. Even the followups being turned over to my long time Optometrist just down the street from me. Five stars is not enough... twenty or more is necessary. Choose Kirk Eye Center, you'll always be grateful you did. Darrell May, Antioch IL.
