What is presbyopia?

Presbyopia is a condition in which your eyes lose their ability to focus as you get older. This condition results in blurred vision when you look at objects close up and can make it difficult to read books or use a computer.

PresbyMAX, also called laser blended vision, can correct this age-related vision problem. It’s an excellent choice for adults over 45 who don’t qualify for other vision correction procedures. The surgeon will optimise one of your eyes for close viewing and the other for far-away vision, removing the need for reading glasses or bifocals.

To learn more about presbyopia, and know which treatment is best for you to free yourself from the hassle of reading glasses and multifocals, then please book online for a free laser vision assessment on our website today.

With over 15 years of experience and over 20,000 procedures performed, I enjoy the privilege of helping patients of all ages reclaim clear vision or preserve it for as long as possible.

Vision correction and high-precision cataract surgery hinge on the expertise and skill set of the provider who also has access to the most precise tools for the job. Ophthalmic surgeons like me know how to make treatment safe, comfortable and positive for the patient. They know how to minimise the risk of complications and maximise successful outcomes.
