About PRESBYOND
PRESBYOND is an advanced laser vision correction treatment specially designed for people over 40 who struggle with reading glasses due to presbyopia—the natural loss of near focusing ability with age. Unlike traditional LASIK, which corrects only distance or near vision, PRESBYOND uses a sophisticated laser algorithm to extend each eye’s depth of focus and create a smooth visual “blend zone” between near and far vision. This allows the brain to merge both images seamlessly, providing clear vision at all distances—near, intermediate, and far—without the need for glasses in most daily situations. The procedure is performed using a femtosecond laser for flap creation and an excimer laser for precise corneal reshaping. It is quick, painless, and customized for each patient’s visual profile and lifestyle needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is presbyopia?
Presbyopia is an age-related condition, usually starting after age 40, where the eye gradually loses its ability to focus on close objects, making reading or near tasks difficult without glasses.
2. How does PRESBYOND correct presbyopia?
PRESBYOND reshapes the cornea in each eye to create a “blended vision” effect—one eye optimized slightly for near vision and the other for distance, with an extended depth of focus that allows the brain to integrate both seamlessly.
3. Is PRESBYOND suitable for everyone?
Most people over 40 who need reading glasses and have healthy eyes are potential candidates. A detailed preoperative evaluation will determine your suitability based on your prescription and ocular health.
4. How quickly will I notice results?
Most patients notice improved vision within 24–48 hours, although it can take a few weeks for the brain to fully adapt to the new visual balance.
5. Will I ever need glasses again?
- PRESBYOND significantly reduces dependency on glasses for most daily activities, including reading and computer work. However, some patients may still prefer light reading glasses for very fine print or low-light conditions.
