From nearsightedness to presbyopia: everything you need to know to better correct your vision in Marseille
In Marseille, the laser center Phenicia Vision supports each patient in correcting their vision problems. Nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia: thanks to laser refractive surgery techniques, we offer modern, lasting, and tailored solutions for every need.
Myopia
I can't see far away
Nearsightedness is one of the most common vision problems, affecting nearly 30% of young people in France. By 2050, it could affect one in two people. This vision problem primarily affects distance vision and results from an eye that is too long, causing the image to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Its causes are often genetic, but our lifestyle also plays a significant role.
While glasses and contact lenses remain traditional solutions, laser refractive surgery now offers a lasting correction for nearsightedness.
Hyperopia
I have difficulty seeing up close
Hyperopia (farsightedness) is a vision problem caused by an eye that is too short or a cornea that is too flat. The image of objects forms behind the retina, making close-up vision blurry. Unlike people with myopia (nearsightedness), those with hyperopia see better at a distance. Hyperopia is hereditary in most cases. In France, 13% of adults and 5.4% of children are farsighted.
While glasses and contact lenses can correct this defect, laser refractive surgery offers a lasting solution.
Astigmatism
I have blurry vision everywhere
Astigmatism is a vision problem caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea, leading to blurry vision and sometimes headaches or eye strain. It is often detected during vision tests when certain letters or numbers are confused.
While corrective glasses and toric contact lenses can correct this, refractive surgery offers a lasting solution.
Presbyopia
I struggle to see up close as I get older
Presbyopia is an age-related vision problem, typically appearing around age 45, which makes seeing up close more difficult. It results from a gradual loss of the eye's ability to focus, forcing you to hold objects further away to see them clearly.
While progressive glasses and contact lenses are common solutions, refractive surgery (PresbyLASIK) offers a lasting correction, without waiting for the condition to fully develop.
