Treatment 01
Custom glasses prescription
We consider individual near work habits, age, arm length to prescribe custom glasses for comfortable near vision.
Near-only glasses or bifocal/multifocal glasses for both far and near are available.
Your precious eyes,
who will you trust?
Presbyopia and cataract affect everyone.
But results differ by clinic choice.
First Eye provides detailed diagnosis and custom solutions
to restore clear vision.
Difference between presbyopia and cataract
Presbyopia
Lens function weakens with age and accommodation decreases,
near objects appear blurry.
Cataract
Lens becomes cloudy, vision appears foggy,
regardless of distance objects appear unclear overall.
Symptoms may be similar, accurate diagnosis only through ophthalmologist.
Precise exam and consultation determine current eye condition and best treatment.

Normal vision
Near small text
not visible
What is presbyopia?
Lens function declines with age, making nearby objects hard to see.
Lens elasticity decreases and ciliary muscle weakens, reducing focus adjustment.
Discomfort increases when viewing books, phones, monitors up close.
Myopic people who wore glasses see far well but near poorly, needing to remove glasses to see close—this is presbyopia.
Presbyopia self-check
If symptoms repeat,
precise exam needed.
- Near objects and text not clear.
- Focus issues when switching near and far.
- Eyes tire easily, often rubbed.
- Better vision without glasses.
- Need to hold phone farther.
- Eyes tire when reading books or papers.
- Night driving feels difficult.
- Magnifying glass helps text.
Both texts visible orIf red text clearer,
presbyopia may not have started.- If green text clearer
Focus ability declined or
presbyopia has started.
Presbyopia treatment methods
Treatment 02
Presbyopia contact lenses
You can choose presbyopia correction contact lenses instead of glasses. We guide various lens options based on lifestyle.
Treatment 03
Latest presbyopia surgery
Various presbyopia surgeries are now available. For more active vision improvement, precise surgical treatment tailored to eye condition is possible. We guide safe, appropriate methods based on precise exams. Multifocal IOL insertion effectively improves presbyopia with high satisfaction.

Blurry vision from

What is cataract?
When the transparent lens (camera lens equivalent) becomes cloudy,
vision appears foggy like mist,
and objects appear unclear overall
regardless of distance.
Lens hardens and clouds, blocking light properly, causing dimness, vision loss, monocular diplopia (double vision in one eye), glare,
and day blindness (poor vision in bright light).
Cataract types
Congenital cataract
Genetic factors from parents
Chromosome abnormalities (e.g. Down syndrome)
Congenital metabolic disorders
Maternal medication or infection during pregnancy (rubella)
Acquired cataract
Age-related changes
Trauma-related damage
Systemic diseases like diabetes
Long-term steroid, antidepressant use
Eye diseases like uveitis, retinal disease
Light exposure: UV, X-ray, excimer laser
Secondary cataract(=posterior capsular opacification) may occur
after cataract surgery and is
completely different from cataract.

Cataract does not improve with medication. Surgery is the only fundamental treatment
Accurate diagnosis and consultation,
key to deciding surgery timing
Presbyopia-cataract surgery timing varies by individual cause, health,
progression, and subjective discomfort.
First Eye analyzes eye condition through precise exams
and suggests optimal timing based on specialist consultation.
Delayed diagnosis increases surgical difficulty and complication risk,
so treatment at appropriate time under professional judgment is important.
