Liz asked:

Hello, I do not suffer with headaches etc but I do have to be at least a 12 inches away to be able to for example focus on the smallest words of this website. Any nearer and the words are out of focus but I can read them at a distance. How much would it be for you to correct this to at least 20/20 vision please? Many thanks, Liz.

Liz, you have presbyopia so reading vision is getting blurry, but the distance vision remains clear. This happens to everyone starting in their 40s. Sometimes only one eye needs to be treated if there is no distance glasses prescription, which is about 15% of presbyopic patients. Presbyopic treatments need to be performed very accurately and choice of surgeon (and technology) becomes even more important that in myopia correction (distance vision, short-sight). The cost at Focus is £2,200 per eye. Regards, Dave
