LASIK corrects distance vision, while PRESBYOND is a specific laser approach designed for people with presbyopia who want clearer near and intermediate vision. Both use excimer lasers but apply different treatment patterns.
How PRESBYOND differs
PRESBYOND uses a blended vision concept that extends the depth of focus in each eye. Typically one eye leans more towards distance and the other towards near.
- Suitable mainly for patients in their forties and beyond with reading difficulties
- Customised wavefront-guided profiles aim to maintain good quality of vision
- Distance clarity remains strong while bringing nearer tasks into focus
- Careful dominance testing decides which eye is biased towards near
Adapting and living with the result
Most people adapt well, but some notice differences compared with standard LASIK. Understanding this trade-off is important.
- Night driving or very fine detail work may feel slightly different at first
- Some patients still choose light glasses for particular tasks
- Comprehensive counselling and possible contact lens trials support decision-making
- Regular reviews ensure the outcome matches daily visual demands
