The word "presbyopia" sums up what many people in their mid-life experience, the need to wear reading glasses, and it is usually accompanied by a growing frustration that many things are written in font too small ie restaurant menus. Today it is reported that a Yorkshire based company, Ultralase, has made a breakthrough in treatment for this eye condition. The treatment corrects the problem within 15-20 seconds and will be available in the UK for the first time soon.
It is also clear that the company recognises this is likely to be a very big market due to the growth in the ageing population and the fact that their research shows that many people feel self conscious wearing glasses. Will this be the death knell for Spec Savers et all?
