PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision

Clear vision for far, near, and in between for those 45 years and older

What is PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision?

PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision is an advanced type of laser eye surgery for patients who are 45 years or older and have no cataract. In addition to relieving you of your dependency on glasses for seeing at a distance, it can also significantly reduce, or even eliminate, the need for reading glasses for many years.

How PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision works

With this technique, one eye is corrected predominately for distance vision and the second eye is treated mainly for near vision. This is similar to the monovision procedure, which many opticians have been using with contact lenses successfully for years. The main difference, however, is that patients with monovision often complain about poor intermediate vision. PRESBYOND eliminates this problem, allowing you to see well at far, near and intermediate distances.

The main problems with monovision stem from the fact that the monovision contact lens is only tolerated by 59 to 67%** of patients. In contrast, the PRESBYOND procedure works in 97% of patients*. The reason for this is because with traditional monovision, the focusing power of one eye is for distance only and the other eye’s focusing power is for near only. This creates an area of compromised vision in the intermediate range called the Blur Zone

In contrast, the sophisticated laser used in PRESBOYND creates an overlap between your two eyes so the eye corrected for distance has some near focus and vice versa. This is what we call the ‘Blend Zone’. The unique ‘Blend Zone’ makes it easier for the brain to maintain its binocular vision by merging the images of both eyes for your normal 3D vision. Most patients experience an immediate improvement.

You may feel reassured knowing that after the age of 40, your glasses prescription is unlikely to change significantly unless you develop cataracts or other eye diseases. In fact, according to one study published on gov.uk, in 10 years, the average change in glasses prescriptions is less than 0.5 units***.

Who is a good candidate for PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision?

PRESBYOND® is especially well suited for people 45 years and older without cataract who have busy and active lifestyles and for whom reading glasses are not convenient.

It is also effective for treating patients with presbyopia (farsightedness) as well as those who are short-sighted or have astigmatism.

The PRESBYOND® vision correction surgery is customised for each patient, so your first step is to take a detailed assessment with Dr. Arbabi. Your personal vision requirements, hobbies and your expectations are important factors. He will ascertain which is your dominant eye, and test your tolerance for monovision.

After a comprehensive assessment Dr. Arbabi will meet with you in person to discuss whether or not PRESBYOND®Laser Blended Vision is right for you.

What to Expect

On the Day of Your Treatment

1. Warm welcome

You will meet with Dr. Arbabi who will review your clinical measurements, examine you and make you feel at ease.

2. Ensuring you are comfortable

Local anaesthetics eye drops will be instilled in your eyes to ensure they are completely numb and comfortable throughout the procedure.

3. PRESBYOND® LASIK procedure

The laser outlines a precise disc of tissue (lenticule) which is removed through a very small (2-3mm) keyhole incision. You should soon be ready to see the World in its finest glory.

After the Treatment

1. What to Expect

It is not unusual for your eyes to feel slightly gritty and light sensitive after the procedure, but this will quickly subside, and the eye should feel better by the next day.

2. Aftercare drops and advice

You will be given your aftercare drops and advice. You will be asked to wear a pair of sunglasses when making your way back to home and to stop rubbing your eye for at least one week. Avoid make up on face for one week and on your eyes for two weeks.

3. The future

The next day you will meet with Dr. Arbabi again, at which point he will let you know when you can go back to your normal routine. Most people can return to office-based work within the first 24 to 48 hours after surgery. You should allow yourself some time to let your brain adapt to your new PRESBYOND eyesight. In addition, as part of our unique service you will be given my personal phone number to call or WhatsApp me directly if you had any concern or wanted to discuss anything about your procedure.

Dr Arbabi is a very kind, compassionate and highly recommended surgeon. He really puts patients at ease and help you through every step of your journey towards a better sight
