Defective eyesight and visual impairments not only affect the everyday lives of those affected, but also their wallets. In many cases, the costs for a treatment are not or only partially covered by the statutory health insurance \u2013 especially if the treatment is not medically necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost of treating presbyopia, in addition to the visual impairment itself, is an additional burden for patients. But these costs are not immutable, but depend, among other things, on the treatment approach chosen.<\/span> In this article, you will find out which treatment costs you should expect in the case of presbyopia.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost of a visual aid for presbyopia<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most common and initially often simplest solution for declining eyesight in old age is to reach for classic visual aids such as reading glasses or contact lenses. They help you to see the close range clearly again, but they only work as long as you wear them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The treatment costs vary greatly, depending on the type of vision aid chosen, the individual wishes and additional eyewear refinements, such as blue filters or anti-reflective coatings.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much do reading glasses cost?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reading glasses are the classic solution for presbyopia. It helps to see nearby objects clearly again, for example when reading books or recognizing price tags. However, in order to see into the distance, it must be removed again, so that it is not helpful when walking or driving, for example. If nearsightedness existed before presbyopia, this must also continue to be compensated. In practice, this means that you have to change your glasses when you switch from near to far vision.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A clear distinction must be made between reading glasses and reading aids, such as those found in drugstores or petrol stations. Although these reading aids are temptingly cheap in price, they are usually not intended for permanent use because they have not been correctly adapted to the defective vision.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect to pay between 50 and 500 euros for high-quality reading glasses from the optician. As already mentioned, the prices depend on the type of lenses, the frame material and the desired additional functions such as blue light filters. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost Point Progressive Glasses<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The costs for progressive lenses are usually significantly higher than for simple reading glasses, often between 300 and 1,500 euros, depending on the manufacturer, lens quality and frame. However, it is a practical solution for everyday life in the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pair of progressive spectacles not only provides sharp vision at close range, but also allows vision in the distance. This makes them a popular choice, especially if there is farsightedness or nearsightedness in addition to presbyopia.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expenditure on contact lenses<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Contact lenses for presbyopia offer a more flexible and invisible alternative to glasses. Multifocal lenses in particular are designed in such a way that they enable sharp vision for both near and far range.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The costs vary from lens to lens \u2013 but you can expect to spend around 30 to 50 euros per month. In addition, there are the costs for cleaning agents and regular adjustments at the optician.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment costs for laser eye surgery<\/span> over 50<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cost of laser eye surgery over 50 depends on various factors – the chosen procedures or methods, your level of presbyopia, the surgeon or eye centre and the location<\/span>. Many people who do not want to rely on vision aids permanently opt for laser treatment for presbyopia.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is correspondingly difficult to give an overview here as well. Instead, we give an example below of how the prices in our laser eye centers in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe are designed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At B\u00e1nyai Neue Augen, we have been <\/em>specialising in eye lasers<\/a> and OPs for presbyopia for over 25 years. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
