What is PRESBYOND® 2.0 Laser Blended Vision?

After the age of 40, the eye’s natural lens begins to lose its flexibility, making it harder to focus on things up close. This natural aging process is called presbyopia (Lao Hua), and it’s something everyone will experience.

For most people, presbyopia means they’ll need reading glasses or corrective lenses. People who are already nearsighted may find they can remove their distance glasses to read.

One common solution for presbyopia is monovision, which corrects one eye for distance vision and the other for near vision. This technique is often used with contact lenses and is also a traditional method for laser vision correction.

Why is it called Laser Blended Vision? PRESBYOND® 2.0 Laser Blended Vision is a special type of laser eye surgery designed to counteract the effects of aging eyes. It uses a technique called Laser Blended Vision, which corrects one eye for distance vision and the other for near vision. Your brain automatically merges these two different images to create a continuous “blend zone“, giving you seamless vision for all distances.

Who is suitable for PRESBYOND® 2.0?

PRESBYOND® 2.0 is particularly suited for:

  • Individuals over 40 who are experiencing presbyopia and need reading glasses.
  • Those who want to reduce their reliance on bifocals or multifocal lenses.
  • People with healthy eyes and no contraindications for laser surgery.

However, it may not be suitable for:

  • Patients with certain medical conditions (e.g., autoimmune diseases or uncontrolled diabetes).
  • Individuals with severe dry eye syndrome or thin corneas.
  • Those unable to adapt to blended vision.

Your surgeon will perform a thorough assessment to determine if PRESBYOND® 2.0 is the right choice for you.

Procedures

ZEISS PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision

Anaesthetic Application

Numbing eye drops are administered to ensure a pain-free experience.

Corneal Flap Creation

A femtosecond laser creates a thin flap on the cornea’s surface, which is gently lifted.

Laser Reshaping

An excimer laser reshapes the cornea to correct the refractive error, blending near and distance vision zones.

Flap Repositioning

The corneal flap is carefully repositioned, adhering naturally without the need for stitches.

Advantages

Safe (bladeless) & Precise

Utilizes advanced laser technology for precise and safe reshaping of the cornea.

Customized Treatment Profiles

Tailors vision correction to individual needs, blending near, intermediate, and distance vision.

Immediate Results

Most patients experience significant improvement in vision within a few days, with minimal discomfort.

Long-Lasting Results

Provides durable vision correction, reducing dependency on glasses or contact lenses.

Our Equipment

Femtosecond Laser

During PRESBYOND®, a femtosecond laser (ZEISS VISUMAX) is used to create a flap on the cornea before the stromal ablation by excimer laser

Excimer Laser

During PRESBYOND® 2.0, an excimer laser (MEL 90) is used to perform stromal ablation which corrects the refractive error.

FAQs

Most patients enjoy:

  • Clearer distance and near vision.
  • Reduced or no need for reading glasses.
  • Natural binocular vision (both eyes working together).
  • Standard LASIK: Corrects a single focus point. It is designed to give you sharp vision for either distance OR near vision, but not both simultaneously. It is primarily for treating myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism in younger patients without presbyopia.
  • PRESBYOND® LASIK: Corrects a range of vision. It is specifically designed to treat presbyopia (age-related near vision loss) in addition to any existing distance vision problems. It aims to provide clear vision for distance, intermediate (computer), and near (reading) tasks.

You may be suitable if:

  • You are over 40 and need reading glasses.
  • You have healthy eyes (no cataracts, glaucoma, or severe dry eye).
  • Your prescription is within the treatable range.

Yes. Presbyond® 2.0 uses femtosecond and excimer laser technology with decades of proven safety in refractive surgery. Risks like dry eye or glare are possible but usually mild and temporary.

The laser treatment itself takes only a few minutes per eye. The full process (including preparation) is about 20–30 minutes.

The laser correction itself is permanent. However, its effectiveness in providing reading freedom will gradually change over 10-15 years because your eyes continue to age naturally.

Most patients can return to work within 1-2 days.
