Presbyopia is the inevitable loss of the ability to focus on near objects. Most people over the age of 45 need reading glasses because of this condition. Because the global population is ageing, 40% of the world’s population will soon be affected by presbyopia.
Vision CRC is developing new products for the correction of presbyopia based on revolutionary technologies.
Presbyopia is the inevitable loss of the ability to focus on near objects. Most people over the age of 45 need reading glasses because of this condition. Because the global population is ageing, soon 40% will be affected by presbyopia.Vision CRC is developing new products for the correction of presbyopia based on revolutionary technologies, including:
- Dynamic Vision Gel (DV-Gel), a revolutionary gel lens system which would replace the lens in an ageing eye, restoring total and continuous vision for the enormous presbyopia and cataract markets
- Multifocal contact lenses which provide vision correction for presbyopia. Myopia (short-sightedness) is reaching epidemic proportions, especially in Asia, due to urbanisation and increased screen and text-based activity throughout all aspects of daily life. The number of myopes in the world is estimated to grow from 1.6 billion to a staggering 2.5 billion by 2020.
