See Clearly. Up Close. Live Fully.

On the day of surgery, anaesthetic eye drops are used to numb the eye surface and maximise patient comfort. The eye is gently stabilised while advanced laser systems are calibrated according to the personalised treatment plan.

What Patients Typically Experience

• No general anaesthesia required
• Minimal discomfort during the procedure
• Awake throughout the surgery
• Short preparation time before laser treatment

Surgical Precision & Safety

Modern PresbyMax® platforms use highly accurate eye-tracking and centration technologies that continuously monitor eye movement during laser delivery for enhanced precision.

Key Facts

• Outpatient procedure
• Sterile and controlled surgical environment
• Highly computer-guided treatment process
• Both eyes may often be treated on the same day, depending on suitability

PresbyMAX expertly reshapes your cornea to mimic the effect of a natural multifocal lens. The procedure typically involves treating your non-dominant eye with a sophisticated multifocal profile optimised for near and intermediate vision, while your dominant eye is precisely corrected for distance vision. This creates a “blended vision” (often referred to as mini-monovision) effect, where your brain naturally adapts to use each eye for its best-suited distance, working together to give you excellent overall clarity.

How The Laser Works

The laser precisely removes microscopic corneal tissue layers according to the customized treatment design. The reshaping process is carefully calculated to optimize:

• Near vision
• Intermediate vision
• Distance vision
• Visual transition between focal zones

Important Clinical Aspects

• Extremely high laser precision
• Tissue-sparing treatment approach
• Computer-controlled laser delivery
• Real-time eye tracking during surgery

What Patients Usually Notice

Most patients do not feel pain during the laser portion of the procedure. Mild pressure sensation or temporary light sensitivity may occasionally occur for a short duration.

Key Facts:

• Laser treatment itself lasts only a few seconds
• No stitches are required
• Minimally invasive procedure
• Advanced correction of presbyopia with customized optics

Following the procedure, patients rest briefly before returning home the same day. Vision may appear slightly fluctuating or hazy initially as the eyes begin healing and adapting to the new optical system.

Early Recovery Expectations

• Mild irritation or watering may occur temporarily
• Vision gradually stabilizes over days to weeks
• Near and intermediate vision continue improving during adaptation
• Most routine activities can often resume relatively quickly

Post-Operative Care

Doctors usually prescribe:

• Lubricating eye drops
• Protective instructions for healing
• Scheduled follow-up examinations
• Temporary precautions against eye rubbing and contamination

Neuroadaptation Process

An important aspect of PresbyMax® surgery is neuroadaptation, where the brain gradually learns to process the newly optimized visual focus zones more efficiently over time.

Key Facts:

• Follow-up visits are important for monitoring healing
• Recovery experience varies between individuals
• Visual quality improves progressively
• Proper post-operative care supports optimal outcomes
