Goodbye to Reading Glasses? Fashion Says No!

The BBC has reported that a procedure called Conductive Keratoplasty could set the end in sight for reading glasses, but fashion begs to differ.

A few years ago, a new procedure in the UK was set to make reading glasses a thing of the past. Millions of people prepared to throw away their reading glasses as Conductive Keratoplasty was introduced to the country. But the world of fashion recycled the geeky, unattractive reading glasses look and has since turned it into a bit of a craze.

Conductive Keratoplast is a painless procedure that can reverse the ageing of the eyes. The treatment is very quick and involves the reshaping of the eye with radio waves, and works as a better alternative to laser eye treatment.

Conductive Keratoplast or Reading Glasses?

UK fashion has made reading glasses more of a fashion statement than an aid for reading and seeing things that are close up. But an estimated 18 million people in the UK need reading glasses, with this condition affecting one in four people over the age of 45.

With so many people tired of having to rummage for their reading glasses every time they wanted to read a restaurant menu, for reading glasses, the end seemed nigh. But was it?

The Conductive Keratoplast treatment costs between £1000 to £1,500 and will be over in just five minutes. Patients are first given anaesthetic eye drops to numb the eye, then a tiny probe as fine as a human hair is then used to emit radio waves at specific areas of the eye around the cornea. Because the procedure is so simple and so accessible, it was predicted that we would all be saying goodbye to our reading glasses in the UK. But this has not been the case.

Fashion has taken a stand and made reading glasses, not only cool for people who need them, but for cool people who have 20/20 vision. Reading glasses have been seen on the likes of UK celebrities and Hollywood stars, and this has resulted in the rise of clear lens reading glasses for spectacle wannabes. So will the accessibility of Conductive Keratoplast really put an end to reading glasses?

UK fashion gurus don’t think so and they are most probably right. Reading glasses are now available in beautiful and stunning designs, with trendy frames at all price ranges. Product availability and demand have worked hand in hand as this trend still continues to grow.
