It is characterized by a gradual inability of the eye to clearly distinguish close objects such as smartphones, computers, books and menus. Early signs of presbyopia include eye strain, problems seeing in low light, and difficulty focusing on small objects or small print.<\/p>\n<p>Presbyopia is believed to be caused by a progressive loss of flexibility and thickening of the natural lens inside the eye. This condition is different from astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness, as these are associated with the curvature of the cornea or the length of the eyeball.<\/span><\/p><\/div><style>.ld_spacer_6ad8025c2138e{height:25px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"ld-empty-space ld_spacer_6ad8025c2138e\"><span class=\"liquid_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-7&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1632860403761{margin-right: -15px !important;margin-left: -15px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/lasikmontreal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/iStock-1250218602.jpg?id=8659) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4046&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; invisible=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1537775592048{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629858088521{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<style>.ld_fancy_heading_6ad8025c214d1 .lqd-highlight-inner{height:0.275em;bottom:0px;}<\/style><div class=\"ld-fancy-heading ld_fancy_heading_6ad8025c214d1\">\n\t<h2 class=\"lqd-highlight-underline lqd-highlight-grow-left\" ><span class=\"ld-fh-txt\"> Signs and symptoms<\/span><\/h2><\/div><style>.ld_spacer_6ad8025c223f9{height:5px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"ld-empty-space ld_spacer_6ad8025c223f9\"><span class=\"liquid_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><style>.ld_fancy_heading_6ad8025c22522 .lqd-highlight-inner{height:0.275em;bottom:0px;}<\/style><div class=\"ld-fancy-heading ld_fancy_heading_6ad8025c22522\">\n\t<p class=\"lqd-highlight-underline lqd-highlight-grow-left\" ><span class=\"ld-fh-txt\"> Symptoms can manifest themselves differently from one person to another.

The high pressure damages the optic nerve, resulting in gradual and permanent loss of vision.<\/p>\n<p>Evaluation of the visual field: the visual field corresponds to the extent that the gaze embraces. The presence of dark areas reveals a reduced visual field. Pachymetry measures the thickness of the cornea, which plays an important role in glaucoma. HD tomography gives a detailed view of the internal structure of the optic nerve facilitating early detection of glaucoma and better follow-up.<\/span><\/p><\/div><style>.ld_spacer_6ad8025c2fa29{height:25px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"ld-empty-space ld_spacer_6ad8025c2fa29\"><span class=\"liquid_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-7&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1632860440356{margin-right: -15px !important;margin-left: -15px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/lasikmontreal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/iStock-1279371122.jpg?id=8660) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4046&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; invisible=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1537775592048{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629858281639{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<style>.ld_fancy_heading_6ad8025c2fbef .lqd-highlight-inner{height:0.275em;bottom:0px;}<\/style><div class=\"ld-fancy-heading ld_fancy_heading_6ad8025c2fbef\">\n\t<h2 class=\"lqd-highlight-underline lqd-highlight-grow-left\" ><span class=\"ld-fh-txt\"> Treatments<\/span><\/h2><\/div><style>.ld_fancy_heading_6ad8025c30e74 .lqd-highlight-inner{height:0.275em;bottom:0px;}<\/style><div class=\"ld-fancy-heading ld_fancy_heading_6ad8025c30e74\">\n\t<p class=\"lqd-highlight-underline lqd-highlight-grow-left\" ><span class=\"ld-fh-txt\"> 1.
