Presbyopia is a natural and inevitable part of ageing, affecting virtually everyone from their mid-40s onwards. If you find yourself reaching for reading glasses more often, struggling to focus on near objects, or feeling frustrated by the limitations of varifocal lenses, you are not alone. Fortunately, advances in laser eye surgery now offer sophisticated solutions for presbyopia, and PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision is at the forefront of this revolution.
At Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic, our top-rated team of leading surgeons and specialists in London’s Harley Street are proud to offer PRESBYOND® as a state-of-the-art option for those seeking freedom from reading glasses and enhanced visual quality at all distances.
Understanding Presbyopia
Presbyopia is the age-related loss of the eye’s ability to focus on close objects, caused by the gradual stiffening of the natural lens. This condition typically begins to manifest in the early to mid-40s and progresses over time, making everyday tasks such as reading, using a smartphone, or working at a computer increasingly challenging. Traditional solutions include reading glasses, bifocals, or multifocal contact lenses, but these options can be inconvenient and do not restore natural vision.
What is PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision?
PRESBYOND® is an advanced form of laser eye surgery specifically designed to correct presbyopia. Developed by ZEISS, PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision combines the proven safety and precision of LASIK with a unique, wavefront-optimised ablation profile. This approach significantly extends the range of clear vision, providing excellent near, intermediate, and distance vision without the need for glasses.
Unlike conventional monovision, where one eye is corrected for distance and the other for near vision (often leaving a “blur zone” at intermediate distances), PRESBYOND® creates a continuous gradient of refractive power across the cornea. This “Blend Zone” allows the brain to merge images from both eyes seamlessly, resulting in true binocular vision and minimising the adaptation period for most patients.
How Does PRESBYOND® Work?
- Personalised Treatment: Each PRESBYOND® procedure is fully customised, considering the unique optical characteristics of your eyes, including preoperative spherical aberrations and the functional age of your eye.
- Wavefront-Optimised Ablation: The laser reshapes the cornea with a precision profile, increasing the depth of field for both eyes. The dominant eye is optimised for distance vision, while the non-dominant eye is set to be slightly myopic (typically around -1.5 D) for near vision.
- Blend Zone: This innovative approach creates a smooth transition between near and distance vision, eliminating the intermediate “blur zone” associated with traditional monovision techniques.
- High Tolerance and Success Rate: Clinical studies show that PRESBYOND® is suitable for up to 97% of presbyopia-related cases, compared to just 59-67% for conventional monovision, making it a leading choice for patients seeking the best outcomes.
Who is Suitable for PRESBYOND®?
PRESBYOND® is ideally suited for individuals aged 40 to 60 who are experiencing presbyopia and wish to reduce or eliminate their dependence on reading glasses. It can also correct other refractive errors such as myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism within certain ranges.
You may be a candidate for PRESBYOND® if you:
- Are between 40 and 60 years old
- Have healthy eyes with no significant ocular pathology
- Are frustrated by the limitations of reading glasses or varifocals
- Have a stable prescription for at least 12 months
- Are seeking a minimally invasive, rapid-recovery solution
A comprehensive assessment with one of our top doctors or specialists at Blue Fin Vision® is essential to determine your suitability and to tailor the treatment to your specific visual needs.
