Presbyopia means is ‘aging eye’. Unfortunately, reading vision loss is an eye condition that affects the majority of the population as they enter their 40s. However the eye’s natural lens begins to harden with age. Meanwhile the eye’s level of flexibility decreases. Therefore that makes more difficult to read up close. So it is frustrating for your comfort and daily habits such as reading books, magazines, newspapers and your smartphone. Generally Presbyopia Laser Eye Surgery is an effective treatment for reading vision problem.

Presbyopia LASIK Smart Laser Eye Surgery is designed for aging eyes.

Because we cannot prevent aging beyond the age of 40. No one is immune to Presbyopia and if left unchecked. But it inevitably leads to the need for glasses, bifocal and varifocal reading. Even though near vision defect is usually try to be overlooked with close glasses. But using glasses both makes you look old. And you need glasses that you need to carry with you all the time.

In fact millions of people around the world have had laser eye surgery to date. Laser eye surgery is one of the most valid and popular treatment methods for the treatment of visual defects. So the most common form of this treatment in the world is LASIK.

Innovative Treatment

Presbyopia LASIK Smart Laser Eye Surgery is an innovative treatment for aging eyes that is being applied in our clinics.

Especially our precision laser technology can eliminate your need for glasses, bifocal and varifocal reading for many years.

You may have heard that Laser Eye Surgery cannot cure near vision defect. It is commonly said that Presbyopia can be correct only by Cataract surgery performed with a “Multifocal” or “Trifocal” lens that is actually inserted into the eye. This information is no longer valid. In our clinics, using the state-of-the-art Smart Laser technology. Therefore we successfully apply the method of increasing the depth of the eye’s field of view to our suitable patients.

Presbyopia LASIK Surgery seems to have advantages over intraocular lens implants (IOLs) over Cataract surgeries. First, it is a less surgical (and therefore safer) procedure. And second, it does not require compromising vision quality with IOLs. Third, it is very accurate and can be adjust as it ages.

It is suitable for 97% of aging eyes

Moreover, it is suitable for around 97% of aging eyes. In fact, if you have had Cataract (Monofocal) Surgery and you must use reading glasses. It is the fastest and effective way to get rid of the reading glasses.

Technically Presbyopia Laser Eye Surgery is programmed to Excimer lasers with the precise laser technology. That’s why clinics around the world can now offer this surgery to their patients over the age of 40 with reading problems. While many eye clinics in Turkey offers, Multifocal or Trifocal lens (cataracts) surgery in order to correct aging eyes. Especially our clinics offers Presbyopia LASIK Smart Laser Eye Surgery. Which is much less of a surgical intervention option for the majority of patients prefers over the age of 40 who do not want ato have cataract surgery.

The main advantages of Presbyopia treatment

The brain compensates for this change almost instantly and bringing the two images together for a much greater depth of view and visual acuity.
