“Can presbyopia be surgically corrected?”

Yes, presbyopia can be treated with several surgical options. If you have cataracts, there are newer lens implants that can improve your ability to see both near and far; however, if your lens inside your eyes is still clear, an implanted lens is not the best option, since technology continues to evolve and improve, so waiting do that type of surgery is recommended to be able to enjoy the best results. Presby-LASIK is a great option for many patients who are suffering with presbyopia.  This procedure reshapes the cornea to create an increased depth of field and allow you to see both near and far without glasses, restoring your natural vision.  Not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure, so a full consultation with an ophthalmologist who regularly performs Presby-LASIK is needed to assess whether you would benefit. Finally, mono-vision LASIK is an option for those who are not a good candidate for presby-LASIK.  This procedure corrects one eye for distance and one eye for near vision.  Most people can easily get used to the change of using one eye mainly for distance and the other for near vision.  It's a good idea to test your eyes ahead of time in your doctor's office to make sure your brain can be comfortable with the eyes being a little different. Hopefully, this has helped you to understand several options to correct your presbyopia. Nancy A. Tanchel, M.D. Liberty Laser Eye Center

No. It’s either myopia or Hyperopia that can be corrected surgically. However, If you have cataracts, then you could possibly go for cataract surgery and get premium intraocular lens implant that can help with presbyopia or you can try multifocal contact lenses or just progressive or bifocal glasses.
