Treating Presbyopia
Dr. Kurtin is a leading expert in Presbyopia treatment-- an age related condition causing close vision to blur. In the late 1980's he was a clinical researcher for Bausch & Lomb's first soft Bifocal Contact Lens designs (Bi-Tech) comparing it with Ciba Vision's Spectrum Bifocal. In the 1990's, he developed and trademarked the MultiFokus(R) Lens. In the 2000's he studied the 'see clearly method' to improve vision. Current work is with Soft Astigmatic Bifocal lenses.
Dr. Kurtin successfully treats Presbyopia using Refractive Therapy, a FDA approved vision correction, that can eliminate the need for daytime contacts or glasses.
The doctors at The Kurtin Eye Center can also offer surgical options to treat Presbyopia with select eye surgeons. Crystalens eye exercises, performed in-office, after surgery, has helped people maximize their 'new' vision.
