Celia Holman Lee undergoes Revolutionary New Eye Treatment Medical advances mean that glasses are no longer the only solution for reading vision. Celia Holman Lee had a revolutionary eye treatment called Presbia to get rid of her reading glasses. The Fashion Stylist and TV Presenter had the procedure at leading eye clinic Optilase in September. Celia said, “I was fed up of struggling to read menus or my phone if I had forgotten or misplaced my reading glasses. When I found out there was a solution I decided to go for a consultation. To my delight, I was a suitable candidate. I had a wonderful experience at Optilase. The treatment was so easy and it was a complete new world afterwards. I can now see up close, far away in the distance and everything in between. It has
completely changed my life”. As we get older, we lose our near vision. If you find yourself holding this paper at arm’s length to read this article, then you will understand. Reading menus and texting are equally tricky, even more so if you are unlucky enough to have forgotten your reading glasses. The technical term for this loss of crispness of our near vision, as we get older is “presbyopia”. It’s a natural process that happens to everyone, usually from their mid40s, even if you have previously had laser vision correction. It’s simply part of the ageing process! Traditionally, most people with presbyopia use reading glasses to improve their near vision
but as we know, with reading glasses come numerous vision and lifestyle constraints. Being free from these constraints is the unique benefit of this revolutionary treatment. With Presbia Vision comes freedom, convenience and self-sufficiency, no more dependency on reading glasses. Is Presbia right for you? People suitable for the Presbia procedure are usually over 40 years old and are found to need reading glasses to view newspapers, mobile phone displays and similar items which would otherwise appear blurred. In other words anyone suffering from the age related vision loss. The loss of your near
vision doesn’t have to be the end of your on-the-go, mobile lifestyle. Not when the Presbia has the power to help millions of people around the world and possibly even you.
I can now see up close, far away in the distance and everything in between. It has completely changed my life Celia Holman Lee If you’re frustrated with trying to keep track of glasses, using contact lenses or stretching your arms past their limit, the Presbia offers the
