- 21. CASE DISCUSSION:PRESBYOPIA • Outline. • 1.0 Definition • 1.1 Epidemiology • 1.2 Etiology • 1.3 Classification • 1.4 Signs and symptoms • 2.0 Diagnosis • 2.1 Tests • 2.3 Differential diagnosis • 3.0 Management • 3.1 Spectacles.
- 22. Definition A gradual (slow) loss of accommodation as we grow older is called presbyopia. People that are aged 40-45 years are affected by presbyopia People with presbyopia find it difficult to read or do any nearby task.
- 23. Epidemiology. Globally,1.09 billion people are estimated to be affected by presbyopia. The prevalence of presbyopia is estimated to be 35% in people aged 35 years and older and increases to 40% for people aged 50 years and older. The women are more affected than the men.
- 24. Etiology. Presbyopia is caused by the loss of accommodation ability that is associated with ageing. As we get older,the crystalline lens gradually gets harder and cannot change shape easily when the ciliary muscle contracts. People often make a mistake of thinking that presbyopia is due to weakness of the ciliary muscle but this is not true.
- 26. classification
- 27. Symptoms of uncorrected presbyopia. I can read in bright light but not in dim light. My arms are not long enough My arms feel strained when I do a lot of sewing. My eyes get tired when I read The writing in the news paper is too small I find it difficult to thread a needle I find it hard to sort the stones from the rice when am cooking The distance looks blurred when I look up after I have been reading for along time.
- 29. Refractive error and presbyopia If a person has myopia or presbyopia,it will affect when they will need to get spectacles for close work. Lets look at an emmetrope,myope and hyperope 1. Never worn spectacles before 2. Having trouble with vision 3. All are 44 and share the same hobbies All the 3 men have early presbyopia
- 30. Emmetrope: What is his distance vision like? At 44 years of age. At 60 years of age
- 31. What is his near vision like? Only 4D of accommodation left. F=100/F 100/4 25cm. Asthenic symptoms like headachae and blurred vision.
- 32. A person can usually spend ½ of their total accommodation to spend a long period of time without getting tired. Half of his accommodation is 2D. This will allow him to se objects that are 50cm away from him comfortably. Remember: f=100/F =100/2 =50cm. You ask the man to show you how far away he likes to hold his newspaper and you measure the distance to be 40cm.
- 33. This man will have difficulty reading his newspaper and will need reading glasses to help him see. Let imagine the man is 60 years of age? He has no accommodation left and images will appear blurry and so needs reading glasses to read his newspapers clearly.
- 34. Hyperope: With a distance refractive error of a +2.00D What is his distance vision like? It will still be blurry unless he accommodates. ½ of his accommodation for (4/2) for long periods without tearing his eyes he will be able to see clearly and comfortably In the distance by using half of his total accomodation.
- 35. Time travel… Now imagine the same man is 60 years of age He has no accommodation left at all so his distance vision will be blurry. This man will need spectacles to see the television clearly.
- 36. What is his near vision like? With 4D of accommodation left,he can use all his accomodation to see things that are only 50cm away from him He has 2D to compensate for the 2D of hyperopia for distance vision and the remaining 2D to look at near objects. F= 100/F = 100/2 =50cm.
- 37. With the remaining 2D of accommodation,he will be able to see something that is 50cm away clearly This means he cant read newspapers at a distance of 40 cm If the man prefers to hold the newspapers at a distance of 50cm,he will use all his accommodation(2D) to keep the near object clearer. After long periods of reading,his eyes will get very tired and will certainly develop asthenopic symptoms. So he needs spectacles to read newspapers or else the images will appear blurry.
- 38. Time travel… Now imagine the same man is 60 years old He has no accommodation left and his vision will be blurry at all distances. At 60,the man needs spectacles to read newspapers and see the television clearly.
- 39. MYOPE: A person with a distance refractive error of -2:00D Some presbyopic myopes can see their close work clearly when they remove their distance spectacles What is the distance vision like?
- 40. Accomodation will not make his distance vision better. Accomodation doesn’t affect myopia Television will be blurry He needs to wear spectacles to see clearly in the distrance.
- 41. Time travel: We imagine the same man being 60 years old He has no accommodation left but this still will not affect his distance vision He will need spectacles to see the television clearly as his distance vision will be blurry.
- 42. what is his near vision like? This man has myopia The mans myopia is -2.00D. f= 100/F =100/2 =50cm.
- 43. Because he has 2D of myopia,he has to be 50cm away from something if he wants to see it clearly without spectacles. However,if this man wants to see something that is closer than 50cm from his eyes,then he will need to use accommodation. A -2.00D myope has an extra has an extra 2D of forcusing power in his eye. The extra 2D is from his myopia not his accomodation
- 44. So the man has a total power of 6D. So if he is not wearing his distance spectacles,this man has a total of 6D near forcusing power in his eye. With this power,he can see things that are approximately 17cm away from him. Remember f= 100/F =100/6 =16.7cm
- 45. If he uses all his forcusing power to see something 17cm away from him for a long period of time, he will get very tired eyes. If a person wants to spend along period of time doing near work,they can usually use half of their total accommodation without getting tired. His total accommodation is 4D ½ of his total accommodation is 2D.
- 46. This means he can use 4D of forcusing power. This will allow him to see an object that is 25cm away from him comfortably without getting tired. Remember: f= 100/F =100/4 =25cm. If he holds anything closer than 25cm from his eyes,his eyes will get tired after sometime.
- 47. But this man only wants to hold his newspaper 40cm away from him. 40cm is closer than 50cm so his myopia will not cause the newspaper to be blurry. 40cm is further away than 25cm so he will be using less than ½ of his total accommodation. This man can see clearly and comfortably when reading his newspaper at 40cm without spectacles
- 48. Time travel… Imagine the myope is 60 years old! He has no accommodation left but he has his myopic forcusing power of 2D. If something is exactly 50cm away from his eye,it will be clear without using any accommodation. This is because he is using his myopic forcusing power f= 100/F =100/2 =50cm
- 49. So anthting less than 50cm from his eyes will require accommodation to make it clear. But at 60 with all accommodation gone,anything closer than 50cm will be blurry If the man is happy to hold the newspaper 50cm away from his eyes,he will not need reading spectacles. But if he wants to hold his newspaper 40cm away from him and still see it clearly,he will now need reading spectacles.
- 50. Astigmatism and presbyopia The person with astigmatism has poor vision both at near and at distance,if they are not wearing the correct spectacles. Every one including people with astigmatism gets presbyopia when they get older. Considering the three men mentioned above,what would happen if they had astigmatism?
- 52. Management:
- 53. Methords for determining presbyopia Tentative add methord: Age/10-3.50D For those who are < 55 years of age Using the amplitude of accommodation: 2.50D-2/3 of amplitude of accommodation
- 54. Age expected addition: From 40-42 +0.75D From 43-45 +1.00D From 46-47 +1.25D From 48-50 +1.50D
- 55. Near addition: Positive spherical lens power Added to the hyperopia,myopia or astigmatism spectacle prescription. Total power of the final spectacle prescription that will be needed for n ear work. The near addition will be the same for both eyes
- 56. Hyperopia or myopia or astigmatism spectacle prescription + near addition = Reading/near spectacle prescription
- 58. Reading spectacles: Presbyopia is corrected by a pair of reading spectacles. They make close vision clearer but distance vision blurry. Second pair of spectacles to use for distance. Near spectacles Vs distance spectacles
- 60. Bifocal spectacles: Near and distance focusing with only one pair of spectacles. Two parts: top and bottom Some bifocals have plano lenses in the top part of the lens for emmetropic presbyopes Some bifocals have plano lenses in the bottom part of the lens for myopic presbyopes.
- 62. Progressive spectacles: Many names:PALs,graduated lenses,multifocal lenses,… No line to separate the different parts Provide clear intermediate distance. Engravings The disadvantage is that the vision gets blurry as one looks through the sides of the lens
- 63. Presbyopic correction in contact lens wear Reading glasses/single vision contacts Monovision Bifocal contact lenses Readers: A reading spectacle worn over a contact lens distance has excellent functional efficiency
- 64. MONOVISION Lets take an example of a 60 year old who says they can see very well in distance and very well in near. How is this possible? Remember: A 60 year old has no accommodation Emmetropic Myopic Hyperopic astigmatic
- 65. It is better to undercorrect than to over correct The prisms relieve the convergency and the spheres relieve the accommodation
- 66. Remember the lady uses both her eyes Could the eyes be having different refractive errors? What combination of refractive errors could help the lady see clearly at both distance and near? The lady has a combination of emmetropia and myopia
- 67. She uses the emmetropic eye to see the workers in the field and the myopic eye to read the newspapers. This is called monovision because she is only using one eye at a time The brain chooses the clearest image depending on what distance she is looking at.
- 68. Monovision and early cataract: Sometimes an early cataract will cause myopia in one eye referred to as “second sight” Monovision and cataract surgery: IOLs are available in different focusing powers A cataract surgeon usually chooses IOL powers that will give the patient emmetropic in both eyes Sometimes the surgeon will choose an IOL for one eye which will make it slightly myopic and a different IOL for the other eye that will make it emmetropic.
- 69. Bifocal contact lenses: Different variations;aspherical,.. Dominant and non dominant eye Multifocal lenses Popular asheric designs
