If you are searching for the best PresbyMAX® laser eye surgery in London, you deserve a clinic that combines clinical excellence, advanced technology, and truly personalised care. At Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic, our top-rated team of leading surgeons and specialists on Harley Street and in central London are dedicated to delivering outstanding results for patients seeking freedom from reading glasses and varifocals.
This guide will help you understand what makes PresbyMAX® unique, why it is considered the gold standard for laser eye surgery for presbyopia, and why Blue Fin Vision® is the trusted choice for the best PresbyMAX® treatment in London.
What Is PresbyMAX®?
PresbyMAX® is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive laser eye surgery designed specifically to address presbyopia – the age-related loss of near vision that typically affects people from their mid-forties onward. Utilising the advanced SCHWIND AMARIS laser system, PresbyMAX® gently reshapes the cornea with exceptional precision, creating multiple focal points for near, intermediate, and distance vision – all in a single, swift procedure.
How PresbyMAX® Works
- Bi-Aspheric Multifocal Profile: The laser creates a central zone for near vision, an intermediate zone for mid-range tasks, and a peripheral zone for distance vision. This structure mimics the effect of multifocal contact or intraocular lenses, but with the safety and comfort of a corneal procedure.
- Personalised Treatment: Each PresbyMAX® procedure is fully tailored to your individual prescription, eye health, and lifestyle. Your specialist will determine the most suitable variant for your needs.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure is completed in minutes, with the laser ablation itself taking only seconds. There is no need to touch or replace the eye’s natural lens.
- Rapid Recovery: Most patients notice improved near vision within hours, with good intermediate and distance vision typically following within a week. Full adaptation is usually achieved within several weeks.
Why Choose PresbyMAX® Over Other Laser Eye Surgery Options?
Unlike conventional LASIK, which corrects a single focal point (usually for distance vision), PresbyMAX® employs a multifocal, bi-aspheric ablation profile. This approach delivers:
- Visual acuity at all distances: Enjoy clear vision for reading, computer work, and driving without the need for glasses.
- Simultaneous correction of other refractive errors: PresbyMAX® can address myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism at the same time as presbyopia.
- High patient satisfaction: Backed by over 12,000 successful procedures worldwide and extensive clinical data, PresbyMAX® is trusted by both patients and leading surgeons.
- Minimally invasive and safe: No stitches, no incisions into the eye’s natural lens, and a quick, comfortable experience under local anaesthetic drops.
Who Is Suitable for PresbyMAX®?
PresbyMAX® is ideal for:
- Individuals aged 45 and above who want to reduce or eliminate their reliance on reading glasses or varifocals.
- Patients with presbyopia, either alone or combined with myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
- Those who have previously had laser eye surgery for distance vision and now seek near vision correction.
- Patients who have had cataract surgery but still require reading glasses.
A comprehensive assessment by one of our top doctors or top specialists at Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic will determine your suitability and help tailor the best PresbyMAX® treatment in London for your unique needs and lifestyle.
