In the toggles below, we have provided everything you need to know about PRESBYOND
This technique makes it possible to treat:
- Everyone with presbyopia regardless of your age
- Presbyopic and myopic up to -12 D
- Presbyopic and hyperopic up to +4.5 and / or astigmatic from 0.25 to 6 D
Advantages of PRESBYOND Laser:
- It does not induce vision loss, notably in patients who only suffer from presbyopia.
- It does not induce a reduction in visual quality at night
- It has a very low risk of serious complications
We perform the PRESBYOND laser treatment using the LASIK all LASER technique. This method combines the use of two lasers whose precision and safety are unanimously recognized:
- The laser FEMTOSECONDE VISUMAX ZEISS
- The EXCIMER MEL 90 ZEISS laser
All operations carry risks, but complications do not happen by chance.
Thanks to our experience and the rigour of our processes, we make every effort to ensure the best results during your operation.
There are no serious complications to fear with PRESBYOND laser treatment. In particular, please note that it is impossible to lose your sight. But like all operations or medical treatments, some rare side effects have been reported. Do not hesitate to ask all your questions during the pre-operative consultation to be completely reassured.
PRESBYOND laser treatment is suitable for most patients; however, there can be a contraindication to this treatment.
In this case, we propose treatment for your presbyopia and your associated visual defects using the PRELEX method. This method involves implanting an intraocular lens to correct your vision permanently.
Your operation in three steps:
Before your operation
On the day of your treatment, you will spend an hour with us. Upon your arrival at the centre we will give you a pre-medication to relax you and a sterile robe to wear.
During your operation
During your procedure, you will be lying on an ophthalmological chair. We will apply a topical anesthesia in the form of eye drops.
The 20-minute procedure consists of two steps:
- The VISUMAX laser creates a corneal flap. Your surgeon lifts the flap.
- The EXCIMER laser reshapes your cornea correction your visual impairment
- Your surgeon will then gently reposition the flap that naturally adheres to the cornea.
After that, the treatment is finished. The procedure is not painful and is perfectly safe.
After your operation
For your departure, it is necessary to be met by an accompanying person. We advise you to go home and rest with your eyes closed for 3 to 4 hours.
You will need to follow the surgeons instructions by instilling anti-inflammatory and antibiotic eye drops. We will need to perform a post-operative check-up between 1 and 10 days.
It is advisable to avoid situations where there may be a risk of infection for 3 to 4 days after your treatment.
On average, visual acuity for both near and distant vision improves by more than 93% after PRESBYOND.
Our results show that 100% of our patients can read without glasses: 10/10 from a distance and 7/10 close-up, 90% can read 10/10 from a distance and 8/10 close-up and 80% can read 10/10 from a distance and 10/10 close-up.
