Over 40 and suddenly struggling to read your phone, newspaper, or menu without holding it at arm’s length? You’re likely experiencing presbyopia — the natural age-related loss of near vision that affects almost everyone after age 40–45.
Commonly known as “চালশে” in Bangladesh, presbyopia happens when the eye’s natural lens loses flexibility. The good news? Effective presbyopia treatment in Dhaka is readily available, from simple reading glasses to advanced surgical options for clearer, glasses-free vision.
In this guide, we’ll explain presbyopia symptoms, causes, and the best treatment options available in Dhaka, along with approximate costs and expert care tips.
Presbyopia is not a disease — it’s a normal part of aging. As we grow older, the lens inside the eye becomes harder and less flexible, making it difficult to focus on close objects.
Common Symptoms:
Blurry near vision (books, phones, sewing)
Need to hold reading material farther away
Eye strain or headaches after close work
Difficulty seeing in dim light
Fatigue when reading or using screens
If you have myopia (nearsightedness), you may still need bifocals or progressive glasses.
Fortunately, Dhaka offers a full range of solutions — from non-invasive to permanent surgical correction.
Reading Glasses / Spectacles The simplest and most affordable option. Single-vision reading glasses or progressive/bifocal lenses correct near vision while allowing clear distance vision. Many optical shops in Dhaka provide quick, customized pairs.
Multifocal or Bifocal Contact Lenses Good for those who prefer not to wear glasses. Multifocal contacts provide clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances.
Monovision LASIK A popular laser procedure where one eye is corrected for distance and the other for near vision. Many patients adapt well and reduce dependence on reading glasses.
Refractive Lens Exchange (Clear Lens Extraction) For suitable candidates (especially those with early cataract signs), the natural lens is replaced with a premium multifocal or trifocal IOL (Intraocular Lens). This provides excellent vision at all distances and prevents future cataract issues.
Multifocal IOL during Cataract Surgery If you already have cataracts, choosing a premium multifocal lens during surgery can correct both distance and near vision in one go.
Lifestyle tips like good lighting, the 20-20-20 rule for screen time, and regular eye check-ups also help manage symptoms.
Costs vary by hospital, technology, and lens quality. Here are typical ranges:
Reading Glasses / Progressive Spectacles: ৳1,000 – ৳8,000 (one-time)
Multifocal Contact Lenses: ৳5,000 – ৳15,000 per year (including fitting)
Monovision or Presbyopia LASIK (Both Eyes): ৳80,000 – ৳160,000+
Refractive Lens Exchange with Multifocal IOL: ৳90,000 – ৳200,000+ per eye (higher for premium trifocal/toric lenses)
Premium multifocal lenses can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for glasses but come at a higher cost. Always ask for a transparent package that includes pre-op tests and follow-ups.
