Middle age (40-50s)
to everyone

Presbyopia, which begins around the age of 40, is a phenomenon of aging of the eyes, in which the muscles that adjust the lens become weaker and the ability to focus decreases, making it difficult to see near objects.
At Nagoya Eye Clinic, we will propose the most suitable vision correction according to the symptoms of each individual, considering the age of middle age.For middle-aged people who still want to be active on the front lines both on and off the field, let Nagoya Eye Clinic realize your clear vision.

What is eye flail?

"Eye frailty" is a condition in which the function of the eyes is impaired by the deterioration of eyesight with age and the addition of various external stresses, and is a condition in which the risk of such impairment is high. It is said that people receive 80% of information through their eyesight, and there are concerns that a decline in mental and physical functions, such as "social frailty," which prevents people from participating in social activities due to a weakening of visual information, and "mental frailty," which can lead to the onset of depression and dementia, may occur.

Our hospital has many eye-frailty advice doctors and support orthoptists on staff.

We support countermeasures against eye frailty and minor vision care. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us. Also, even if you do not currently have any symptoms, we recommend that you visit an ophthalmologist once a year after the age of 40.
