Presbyopia is a natural and universal part of aging that involves the gradual loss of the eye’s ability to focus up close. It is distinct from other refractive errors such as nearsightedness or farsightedness. This condition typically becomes noticeable in mid-40s and continues to progress until around age 65.
Presbyopia occurs because the lens inside your eye becomes less flexible over time, reducing its ability to change shape and focus light properly on the retina for near vision tasks. Common symptoms include holding reading materials farther away to see them clearly, blurred vision at normal reading distance, eyestrain, and headaches after close-up work.
Treatments include reading glasses, bifocals or surgical options such as presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs). Presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs) are crucial because they offer patients undergoing cataract or refractive lens exchange surgery the opportunity to regain clear vision at multiple distances, reducing or even eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. These advanced lenses are especially valuable for people who want greater independence from spectacles after surgery, addressing the growing demand for high-quality vision at all distances as people age and presbyopia becomes more prevalent.
North Toronto Eye Surgical Centre is thrilled to offer the latest innovation in presbyopia correction: SOON TO ARRIVE THIS YEAR – TECNIS Odyssey™ Intraocular lens (IOL)
The TECNIS Odyssey™ IOL is a next-generation presbyopia-correcting lens designed to provide continuous, uninterrupted vision from near to far distances.1 It features a unique freeform diffractive surface that eliminates the “gaps” between near, intermediate, and distance vision, offering seamless clarity for daily activities.
Key Benefits:2
- Full visual range: Clear vision at all distances, reducing the need for glasses.
- High contrast and low-light performance: Superior night vision and contrast, even outperforming some leading trifocal IOLs.
- Minimal visual disturbances: Advanced optics reduce glare and halos commonly associated with multifocal lenses.
TECNIS PureSee™: A Proven Success
The TECNIS PureSee™ IOL, also available at our centre, has set a new standard for Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses. It offers excellent distance and intermediate vision, functional near vision, and a dysphotopsia profile (visual disturbances) similar to monofocal lenses.3
How TECNIS Odyssey™ and TECNIS PureSee™ Perform Differently:
- TECNIS PureSee™ is an EDOF lens, excelling at distance and intermediate vision with functional near vision and very low rates of visual disturbances
- TECNIS Odyssey™ goes further, providing a true full visual range-near, intermediate, and distance-with best-in-class contrast and low-light performance, and even fewer visual gaps between distances
