PRESBYOND® offers a modern treatment alternative to reading glasses for people struggling with presbyopia.
This innovative treatment utilizes advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea, allowing for improved near vision and eliminating the need for reading glasses in the majority of cases. The procedure is quick, painless, and highly effective, providing patients with increased clarity and focus when reading, using electronic devices, or performing close-up tasks.
PRESBYOND® is a LASIK based procedure. A small flap is raised with precision using a laser. The corneal surface is then reshaped using a separate laser, and the flap is replaced. The reshaping process allows the eye to focus light properly, resulting in improved near vision without the need for reading glasses. The entire procedure is performed under anaesthetic eye drops, ensuring that patients remain comfortable throughout the process.
The non-dominant eye is corrected to near vision, and the dominant eye is corrected for distance. This is similar to a traditional treatment called monovision. The difference is that PRESBYOND® incorporates an additional blended zone of vision into each eye, to improve the ability of the brain to adjust to the new visual balance.
Because we customise the PRESBYOND® Lasik treatment to each patient, you will have to undergo a detailed eye examination. The nature and degree of your refractive error(s), curvature and thickness of the cornea, as well as many other factors, play a role in your suitability for PRESBYOND® treatment. We will ask you questions about your hobbies, your daily activities and other aspects that might affect the decision to go ahead.
Generally, suitable candidates include:
It’s important to note that corneal issues like scars, keratoconus and dry eye can exclude you from eligibility.

After surgery, visual acuity typically improves rapidly, especially for near vision. However, adaptation to the new visual impression may take slightly longer than conventional LASIK treatment. We advise patients to go home and rest for a few hours after the procedure. Refrain from applying makeup around the eyes for two weeks. Vigorous exercise and swimming can also be resumed after two weeks.
As every eye is unique, it can be difficult to figure out the extent of your surgery requirements. At WA Laser Eye Centre, our prices vary based on the type of procedure you require, which is why we strongly recommend coming in to see our team for an initial consultation. We would gladly schedule your assessment and provide you with the most accurate quote for your presbyopia surgery.
