PRESBYOND®

WHAT IS PRESBYOND?


Presbyond (Laser Blended Vision)

PRESBYOND® laser refractive surgery is a type of advanced laser eye surgery designed to correct presbyopia, which is the age-related loss of near vision. As we get older, the natural lens inside our eye loses its ability to focus on close objects, making tasks like reading difficult. Unfortunately, ageing affects the eye just as it affects every other part of the body. Starting in early middle age, the lens inside the eye begins to lose its ability to change shape ‘zoom’ from distance to near and back. PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision adjusts each eye in slightly different ways: one eye is adjusted to see mostly at a distance, and a little close-up, while the other is the opposite: mostly up close and a little at a distance. 

PRESBYOND®  offers a modern treatment alternative to reading glasses for people struggling with presbyopia. This innovative treatment utilises advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea, allowing for improved near vision and eliminating the need for reading glasses in the majority of cases. The procedure is quick, painless, and highly effective, providing patients with increased clarity and focus when reading, using electronic devices, or performing close-up tasks.

What is presbyopia?

Presbyopia is the natural regression of vision with age that usually begins at 40 and older. Similar to a camera lens, the cornea and lens of the human eye bundle the light rays and focus them at a focal point on the retina, resulting in a sharp image that is transmitted to the brain. The lens of the eye can change shape to focus on objects at different distances. As we age, the lens becomes less flexible and starts losing its ability to change shape and to adjust its focus. As a result, we have difficulty seeing sharply at all distances and eventually require reading glasses or contact lenses.

Key points about Presbyond

  • It targets people with presbyopia, typically those over 40 years old.

  • The procedure involves reshaping the cornea to enhance near and distance vision.

  • It can be an option for people who have other refractive issues (e.g., nearsightedness or farsightedness) in addition to presbyopia.

  • The procedure is generally quick and minimally invasive, with a relatively fast recovery time.

Why Choose Presbyond?

  • No More Reading Glasses: Say goodbye to constantly reaching for your glasses.

  • Quick Recovery: Minimal downtime, most patients are back to their daily routines the next day.

  • Long-Lasting Results: Permanent correction of presbyopia, with little to no maintenance required.

  • Natural Vision at All Distances: Achieve clear vision up close, at medium distances, and far away.
     

Is Presbyond Right for You?

  • You’re over 40 and have started noticing difficulty reading small text or seeing things up close.

  • Laser Blended Vision is especially well suited for people with a very busy and active lifestyle who often find that reading glasses are not convenient enough.

  • Laser Blended Vision is effective for treating patients with presbyopia who also have other refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia and/or astigmatism.

 

FAQS

With Presbyond Laser Blended Vision, the treatments is customised for each eye. Thereby, an overlapping zone (Blend Zone) in the intermediate range is created. It makes it easy for the two eyes to merge the images for normal binocular vision and enables vision in focus at all distance.

Treatment eligibility is the same as for normal LASIK, except, that the therapy is customised for each patient with presbyopia. You will first have to undergo a detailed eye examination. . The nature and degree of your refractive error(s), curvature and thickness of the cornea, as well as many other factors plat a role. Your tolerance level for monovision and ocular dominance will also be tested.  Our team here at Hunter Laser Vision will then advise you if Presbyond is right for you.

Every healing process is different. In most cases, visual sharpness is already very good one or two days after the surgery. Your new vision normally stabilises within two to three weeks.

With Presbyond, one eye is corrected for full distance vision and some mid-range vision, and the other eye is corrected to focus at the mid and near range. As a result, you won’t be able to see sharply at all distances if you use just one eye. With both of your eyes hoever, you will achieve vision in focus at all distances.
Usually, both eyes are treated on the same day. This way, patients can fully experience the benefits.
