What are the benefits of laser eye surgery over 45?

The main benefit of correcting presbyopia with laser eye surgery is restoring the ability to see sharply with the naked eye at both near and far distances as you age.

Thanks to rapid advances in eye surgery techniques in recent years, having presbyopic vision treated with laser surgery is now straightforward. Technological progress in refractive surgery (the surgical correction of refractive errors) continues unabated — to the benefit of patients with presbyopia.

The eye’s lens and cornea can be improved so that clear vision is restored, both at close range and at a distance. This can allow you to give up reading or progressive glasses and enjoy daily life without worries.

Laser eye surgery over 45: get rid of reading glasses

Laser treatment for presbyopia in our ophthalmology practice enables affected people to see sharply at almost all distances, even at an older age.

From around the age of 45, some people begin to notice a loss of elasticity in the natural lens of the eye. This means the lens’s ability to accommodate via the ciliary muscles is reduced. Presbyopia develops and vision becomes weaker — especially for nearby objects, and in many cases distance vision can also appear blurred.

The lens begins ageing from birth. Presbyopia typically appears from around age 45.

Are there risks with laser eye surgery over 45?

Immediately after the Presbyond treatment, you may experience slight discomfort. A feeling of dry eyes and mildly blurred vision is normal.

Vision fluctuations can occur during the first two days. The healing process and the eyes’ adjustment can take between three and four months in total. It is important that both eyes are used together and not “tested” individually.

Possible side effects

Organic side effects correspond to those of Femto-LASIK. In addition, there is the possibility of a neuroadaptation (blending) that may not occur as expected.

“Blending” is the process where your brain learns to switch between near and far vision and to combine the information from both eyes. On average, this process takes about four months.

This varies from patient to patient. “Cross-blurring” refers to temporary blurred near vision that typically resolves over time. In some cases, wearing glasses during the adjustment period can provide comfortable vision.
