The elasticity of the lens inevitably decreases with age. Presbyopia, or age-related farsightedness, is therefore not a disease, but simply part of the natural aging process of the eye that generally starts to appear between the ages of forty and fifty. The eye's lens loses the ability to focus at close range.

Reading glasses can help correct the effects of presbyopia. Bifocals are often prescribed for presbyopia. Bifocals are glasses that have two different prescriptions in one lens to allow the eye to focus both on objects that are close and at a distance. Progressive addition lenses are similar, but have a more gradual transition between the two prescriptions to allow the eye to focus at medium range too.

Many patients are not happy with wearing glasses, however.

ocuranaPro is an entirely new option for treating presbyopia.

Minor surgery is performed to replace the damaged lens with a special artificial lens, restoring natural vision almost completely. The aim of the operation is to restore close, distant and mid-range focusing ability.

The benefit being that the patient is freed from the need to wear glasses!

The operation can be performed as outpatient surgery and usually takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes. ocurana's state of the art equipment and up to the minute treatment methods make it a painless and non-invasive procedure.
