The natural ageing process affects several areas of our lives. It may affect your near vision, making it difficult for you to focus on words while reading. It could also make you have frequent headaches after you try to read for a long time. As you age, you lose accomodation your eyes' muscular power reduces, making it harder to focus on close objects. The condition is popularly known as presbyopia.
Presbyopia is an eye condition due to lack of accomodation which happens by age .

It makes the eye's lens less flexible and requires most people to use reading glasses.

However, most people consider using glasses stressful, and others have to wear glasses with a chain around their neck or hold the glasses in cases to access the glasses easily. Most people find it disturbing to have to put their glasses on and remove them continuously.

Dr Mani has performed more than 35,000 ophthalmic procedures, including LASIK, LASEK, PRK, Femto Cataract, RLE, Lens ICL and Phakic IOL Surgery
I had a great experience performing my laser eye surgery at Optimal Vision Clinic. All the staffs are very helpful, co-operative and supportive throughout the treatment process. On the first call,
they explained the entire procedure in details and gave necessary instructions at every stage. My eye surgeon made me feel comfortable and relaxed before and during
the procedure. Aftercare was done properly with a thorough check-up of my eyes. I would like to recommend this clinic to everyone!
Very happy and impressed with the highly professional care and service I’ve received at the Optimal Vision clinic. Dr Mani is
so professional, and he explained everything about Laser surgery and answered all my questions. The surgery was quick and almost completely painless. My eyes have healed
perfectly and quickly. I would highly recommend this clinic.
My husband had been experiencing discomfort in his left eye since July and was seen by various doctors/consultants even at the Queen Mary’s hospital but no abnormalities were found.
This week Dr. Mani discovered the fault which happened to be Retina detachment with three tears.
Dr. Mani’s preciseness and his perfectionist attitude to attention to details,
detected the source of the main issue and saved my husband’s eye. We feel utterly grateful and can not recommend him enough for his excellence.
