2. Available Treatment Options
A variety of options are available for optical correction of presbyopia,and the optometrist makes recommendations on the basis of the patient's specific vocational and avocational needs. It is the optometrist's responsibility to counsel the patient regarding these options and to guide the patient in the selection of appropriate eyewear. All types of corrections for presbyopia represent some visual compromise, compared with normal accommodative ability. Ultimately, the success of treatment depends on the lens power, the optical correction, the specific visual tasks, characteristics of the individual patient, and the appropriate patient education given by the practitioner.
