The Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth) explains that the natural lens provides about one third of the eye&#8217;s focusing power and is the flexible part of the system; as it stiffens, accommodation fades and near vision suffers. The AAO notes that this process cannot be stopped or reversed.<\/p>\n<p data-reveal>This matters for treatment. Laser surgery reshapes the <strong>cornea<\/strong>, the clear window at the front of the eye. It cannot make the stiffened lens behind it flexible again. Every laser treatment for presbyopia, including Presbyond, therefore works around the problem rather than curing it.<\/p>\n<p data-reveal><strong>Presbyopia vs long sight.<\/strong> They feel similar but are different. Long sight (hyperopia) comes mainly from the shape of the eye and is present from birth; presbyopia comes from the ageing lens and affects everyone. Long-sighted people simply notice presbyopia sooner, because their eyes were already using some of their focusing reserve to see clearly.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<!-- FAQ (Question and answer rows) End -->\n\n\n<!-- Table (Table on a dark panel) Start -->\n<section class=\"panel dark\" id=\"presbyopia-treatment-glasses-contact-lenses-drops-laser-and-\"><div class=\"container-fluid px-0\"><div class=\"row g-0\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"t48 sec-title\" data-reveal>Presbyopia treatment: glasses, contact lenses, drops, laser and lens surgery<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"t22 sec-lead\" data-reveal><strong>The main presbyopia treatments are reading glasses or varifocals, presbyopia contact lenses, pupil-shrinking eye drops, blended-vision laser surgery and lens replacement.<\/strong> The AAO lists all of these.

Your non-dominant eye is deliberately left slightly short-sighted, so it focuses at reading and arm&#8217;s length. In published Presbyond studies, the near eye was targeted between about \u22120.50 and \u22122.00 dioptres, a smaller difference than in traditional monovision.<\/li>\n<li><strong>An extended depth of focus.<\/strong> The laser profile is &#8220;non-linear aspheric&#8221;: it adds a carefully calculated amount of spherical aberration so each eye sees sharply over a longer range of distances than a standard treatment gives.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The blend zone.<\/strong> Because each eye now covers a longer range, the ranges overlap in the middle. With both eyes open, there is a zone at computer and dashboard distance where both eyes see clearly together. This is what makes blended vision easier to adapt to than classic monovision.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-reveal>The RCOphth describes the same principle in its 2024 patient guidance: from the mid-40s, surgeons often aim for good distance vision in one eye and good vision at arm&#8217;s length in the other, and with both eyes open the two combine to extend the range of focus. Near vision is at least partly restored with relatively little optical compromise. The RCOphth calls this approach micro-monovision and notes that variations of it are marketed under several brand names.<\/p>\n<p data-reveal>The reshaping itself is ordinary Femto-LASIK. A femtosecond laser makes a thin flap, the excimer laser reshapes the cornea underneath using the Presbyond profile, and the flap is laid back without stitches. Presbyond can treat short sight, long sight and astigmatism at the same time as presbyopia, and it can also be used if your distance vision is still good and only reading has become a problem. ZEISS lists a treatment range of \u22128.00 D to +2.00 D sphere and up to 2.00 D of astigmatism; your surgeon decides whether your eyes fall within a safe range.<\/p>\n<p data-reveal><strong>Technology we use:<\/strong> <span class=\"ph\">{{laser platform for blended vision, e.g. ZEISS MEL 90 with Presbyond software, and the femtosecond laser used for the flap}}<\/span>, in a fully equipped, Ministry of Health\u2013licensed operating theatre in Istanbul.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<!-- Heading (Intro: heading left, text right) End -->\n\n\n<!-- Heading (Intro: heading left, text right) Start -->\n<section class=\"psec pad\" id=\"laser-eye-surgery-over-40-who-presbyond-suits\"><div class=\"container-fluid px-0\"><div class=\"row g-0\"><div class=\"col-12\"><div class=\"intro-grid row\"><div class=\"intro-side col-12\"><h2 class=\"t48\" data-reveal>Laser eye surgery over 40: who Presbyond suits<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"copy prose col-12\"><p data-reveal><strong>Presbyond usually suits people aged about 40 to 55 who are starting to rely on reading glasses, whose natural lens is still clear, and whose eyes are healthy enough for LASIK.<\/strong> In the main published studies, patients were between 42 and 70 years old, but the older end of that range is where lens replacement becomes a serious alternative.<\/p>\n<p data-reveal>You may be a good candidate if:<\/p>\n<ul data-reveal>\n<li>you are in your 40s or early 50s and your reading vision is getting worse<\/li>\n<li>you are short-sighted, long-sighted, have mild astigmatism, or have good distance vision and only need readers<\/li>\n<li>your prescription has been stable (the RCOphth uses no change greater than 0.5 dioptres in two years for laser vision correction)<\/li>\n<li>your corneas are healthy and thick enough on topography and thickness scans<\/li>\n<li>you can adapt to blended vision in a trial (see below)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-reveal>Presbyond is usually <strong>not<\/strong> the right choice if you have:<\/p>\n<ul data-reveal>\n<li>early cataract, or a natural lens that is already starting to cloud<\/li>\n<li>keratoconus or a cornea that is too thin or irregularly shaped<\/li>\n<li>severe dry eye, uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disease, active eye inflammation or advanced glaucoma<\/li>\n<li>a job or hobby that demands perfect sharpness at one distance in both eyes, or excellent depth perception (your surgeon will discuss this with you)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-reveal><strong>The blended-vision trial.<\/strong> Not everyone&#8217;s brain accepts one eye focusing near and the other far. A 2007 review of monovision in contact lens wearers found that 59\u201367% adapted successfully, with problems mostly at night driving and at middle distances such as computer screens. Presbyond&#8217;s smaller difference between the eyes and extended depth of focus are designed to make adaptation easier, but your surgeon still tests your tolerance first, in clinic with trial lenses and, if you wear contacts, with a monovision contact lens trial at home before you travel.<\/p>\n<p data-reveal><strong>Over 55, or with early lens changes?<\/strong> The RCOphth notes that refractive lens exchange is often preferred to laser vision correction in the retirement age group, when early cataract is common.

There is no fixed upper age for laser eye surgery, but over 40 your surgeon must plan for presbyopia. Standard LASIK can still sharpen your distance vision, but you would then need reading glasses. Presbyond blended vision is designed to reduce that need; from the mid-50s, or with early cataract, lens replacement is often the better choice.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does presbyopia mean?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Presbyopia means the age-related loss of the eye's ability to focus up close. It happens because the natural lens inside the eye stiffens, and most people start to notice it in their 40s. It affects everyone eventually, including people who have never worn glasses.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What are the first symptoms of presbyopia?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The first sign is usually holding your phone, books or menus further away to read them. Small print blurs, especially in dim light, and you may get tired eyes or headaches after close work. The NEI notes that presbyopia gets worse over time but usually stops progressing around age 65.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Will I still need reading glasses after Presbyond?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Most people can do everyday near tasks such as reading a phone, menus and labels without glasses. You may still want light readers for very small print, long reading sessions or poor light, and your reading range may slowly reduce as your natural lens keeps ageing.
