Treatment
Presbyond Laser Blended Vision
Presbyond Laser Blended Vision corrects age-related reading vision loss (presbyopia) using advanced laser technology, reducing dependence on reading glasses.
Overview
Understanding the Procedure
Presbyond Laser Blended Vision is an advanced laser eye surgery designed specifically for presbyopia — the age-related loss of near focusing ability that affects most people from their mid-40s onwards. It is based on LASIK technology but uses a unique treatment profile developed by Carl Zeiss.
Unlike traditional monovision (where one eye is set for distance and the other for near), Presbyond creates an extended depth of focus in each eye with a customised blend zone. This allows both eyes to work together seamlessly, providing clear vision at distance, intermediate, and near ranges.
The result is a natural visual experience without the compromises of traditional monovision, and significantly reduced dependence on reading glasses.
Miss Tina Khanam performs Presbyond surgery at her London clinics, offering patients over 40 a proven solution for presbyopia that avoids the need for lens replacement surgery.
Benefits
What This Means for You
- Reduces or eliminates need for reading glasses
- Natural blended vision — both eyes work together
- No lens implant required — cornea-based treatment
- Rapid recovery — most patients see well within 24-48 hours
- Proven track record — based on LASIK technology
Our Approach
Consultant-Led Care
Miss Khanam carefully assesses each patient's suitability for Presbyond through a comprehensive examination including detailed measurement of your dominant and non-dominant eye, corneal topography, and a trial of the blended vision concept using contact lenses or trial frames.
Not every patient adapts well to blended vision — Miss Khanam will advise honestly whether Presbyond or an alternative approach (such as multifocal lens replacement) is the best option for your lifestyle and visual needs.
Suitability
Is This Right for You?
- Adults aged 40-65 with presbyopia (difficulty reading without glasses)
- Patients who want to reduce dependence on reading glasses
- Those with mild to moderate myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism alongside presbyopia
- Patients who pass a blended vision tolerance test
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional monovision sets one eye for distance and one for near, which can cause significant depth perception issues. Presbyond creates an extended depth of focus with a blend zone in each eye, so both eyes contribute to vision at all distances.
Presbyond is typically suitable for patients aged 40-65. Beyond this age, lens replacement surgery with a multifocal IOL may be more appropriate as the natural lens may be developing early cataract changes.
Most patients achieve excellent vision for everyday tasks without glasses. Some patients may still need glasses for very small print or prolonged close-up work in low light conditions.
Presbyond corrects your current presbyopia permanently, but your eyes will continue to age naturally. Some patients may need a top-up treatment or eventually progress to lens surgery as presbyopia advances further.
