Would you like to be independent of your reading glasses? Presbyopia is a natural part of aging that affects many people. Laser eye surgery using the PRESBYOND\u00ae method offers relief and makes it possible to live without reading glasses.<\/p>\n\n

In this article, you will learn more about laser eye treatment for presbyopia. To give you an even clearer insight into the technique and the pre- and post-operative procedures, we also include a first-hand report on PRESBYOND\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n

What is presbyopia?<\/h2>\n

With increasing age, vision declines. A natural aging process begins and the eye’s lens hardens. This occurs in most people from around age 35, when the condition known as presbyopia starts. This is mainly due to the eye’s diminishing ability to accommodate.<\/p>\n\n

Accommodation is the ability of the eye\u2019s elastic lens to change, using muscle power, so that near and distant objects can be seen sharply. This active change alters the refraction of light. With age, the lens becomes progressively stiffer, the eye muscles weaken, and the lens can no longer form a sufficiently spherical shape. As a result, affected individuals can no longer see clearly up close.<\/p>\n

When do you need reading glasses?<\/h2>\n

Presbyopia is a gradual process. At first you may not notice anything, but eventually reading small print becomes tiring. Constant strain on the eye muscles can cause headaches. Before long, you may even find that you can no longer switch to near vision.<\/p>\n\n

In most cases, affected individuals try to hold the reading material farther away, which certainly shouldn’t be a permanent situation. Reading glasses can often help with this. The so-called “single-vision” glasses \u2014 which are usually made for a specific distance \u2014 are therefore suitable only for reading at close range. They are completely unsuitable for distance vision. This is particularly problematic for people with additional nearsightedness (myopia).<\/p>\n\n

It involves many compromises that can create significant obstacles in everyday life. Constantly having to switch between two different pairs of glasses can be frustrating. Using so-called progressive glasses, which can correct several vision problems in a single pair, also requires skill and patience. In addition, buying a good pair of progressive glasses is expensive and requires professional fitting by a trained optician.<\/p>\n

Laser eye surgery for presbyopia with PRESBYOND\u00ae<\/h2>\n

A few years ago, it was still unthinkable: laser treatment for presbyopia. Today, modern ophthalmology also offers successful laser eye treatments for presbyopia. The innovative PRESBYOND\u00ae Laser Blended Vision system from ZEISS is also part of our treatment portfolio at the B\u00e1nyai Eye Laser Centre.<\/p>\n\n

Thanks to modern technology from the long-established ZEISS company, individualized laser treatment can be performed using tailor-made ablation profiles. With PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision, sharp vision can be achieved at any distance\u2014near, intermediate and far. This specialized laser method always takes the unique “blend zone” into account and can precisely optimize it based on the individual, calculated ablation profiles.<\/p>\n\n

In the so-called “mixing zone,” distance and near vision merge into a seamless whole. This zone ensures that the brain can integrate the different visual impressions and provides good vision in both eyes.<\/p>\n\n

Thus, the PRESBYOND\u00ae Laser Blended Vision is a real alternative for correcting presbyopia and restores a measure of quality of life to those affected. The laser treatment is also minimally invasive, making it one of the most well-tolerated treatment methods for presbyopia.<\/p>\n

Testimonial about PRESBYOND\u00ae<\/h2>\n

Nico Auer from Hitradio Antenne 1 accompanied Thomas during his laser eye treatment. Doctor-medic B\u00e1nyai used the PRESBYOND\u00ae method on Thomas. The operation was completely painless, and the result is visible. Thomas finally no longer needs glasses.
