About the Session:
Today’s young presbyopes lead dynamic, fast-paced lives—balancing careers, family, and increasing digital demands. Many begin to experience early signs of near-vision decline, such as blurriness, fatigue, and eye strain, yet go years without appropriate correction.

In this insightful webinar, Prof. Montani and Maarten Brouwer will explore how modern lifestyles are reshaping visual demands, the challenges faced by pre-presbyopic patients, and the practical strategies optometrists can use to provide early and effective solutions.
