If you’re over 40 and finding it harder to read menus, use your phone, or focus on near objects without stretching your arms, you may be experiencing presbyopia—a natural age-related decline in near vision.
While reading glasses and multifocal lenses have traditionally been the go-to solutions, advancements in laser eye surgery have introduced a game-changing alternative—Presbyond Laser Blended Vision.
At iSurgeon, we specialise in cutting-edge vision correction to help reduce or eliminate your need for reading glasses. In this guide, we’ll explain:
✔️ What Presbyond is
✔️ Who it’s for
✔️ What to expect before, during, and after the procedure

What is Presbyond?
Presbyond Laser Blended Vision is an advanced laser eye surgery designed specifically for people with presbyopia. It is a customised procedure that reshapes the cornea to provide sharp vision at all distances—near, intermediate, and far.
Unlike traditional monovision (where one eye is corrected for distance and the other for near vision), Presbyond creates a seamless blend of vision, reducing the brain’s reliance on a dominant eye and improving depth perception.
How Presbyond Works
✔️ One eye is optimised for distance vision
✔️ The other eye is optimised for near vision
✔️ A unique “blend zone” is created, allowing smooth vision at all distances
This approach allows for a more natural visual experience, meaning less dependence on reading glasses without the downsides of traditional monovision correction.
Who is Presbyond For?
Presbyond is an ideal solution for:
✔️ People over 40 experiencing presbyopia
✔️ Those with mild to moderate short-sightedness, long-sightedness, or astigmatism
✔️ Individuals tired of constantly switching between reading and distance glasses
✔️ Those who want a surgical alternative to multifocal contact lenses
✔️ Patients looking for a permanent vision correction solution
Who may not be suitable for Presbyond?
❌ People with severe dry eye syndrome
❌ Those with advanced cataracts (lens replacement may be a better option)
❌ Individuals with untreated eye diseases or corneal conditions
If you’re unsure whether Presbyond is right for you, book an assessment at iSurgeon, where our expert ophthalmologists will evaluate your suitability.

What to Expect: Pre, During & Post-Surgery
1. Pre-Surgery: Your Presbyond Assessment
Before undergoing Presbyond, a comprehensive eye examination will be performed at iSurgeon to ensure you are a good candidate.
🔍 Your assessment includes:
✔️ Detailed eye scans to analyse your cornea’s shape and thickness
✔️ Checking prescription stability and overall eye health
✔️ Trial simulation of blended vision to see how your brain adapts
If you’re eligible for Presbyond, our eye specialists will guide you through the preparation steps for surgery.
2. During Surgery: The Presbyond Procedure
Presbyond is a quick and painless procedure that typically takes 10-15 minutes per eye.
🩺 Step-by-step procedure:
1️⃣ Numbing eye drops are applied—no injections or general anaesthesia required.
2️⃣ A precise femtosecond laser creates a thin corneal flap.
3️⃣ An excimer laser reshapes the cornea to achieve blended vision.
4️⃣ The flap is repositioned, and healing begins immediately.
✅ No stitches, no pain, and no lengthy downtime!
Most patients describe the experience as pressure on the eye rather than pain, and it’s over before you know it.
3. Post-Surgery: Recovery & Aftercare
After surgery, your vision may feel slightly blurry or hazy, but this is completely normal and improves within a few days.
👀 What to expect after Presbyond:
✔️ Vision improves significantly within 24-48 hours
✔️ Some dryness or sensitivity to light is normal in the first few weeks
✔️ Most people return to normal activities within 48 hours
✔️ Final vision stabilisation occurs within a few weeks
Aftercare Tips for Best Results
🔹 Use prescribed eye drops to aid healing and prevent dryness
🔹 Avoid rubbing your eyes for the first few weeks
🔹 Wear sunglasses outdoors to protect against UV exposure
🔹 Limit screen time in the first few days to reduce strain
🔹 Follow up with your ophthalmologist for post-op check-ups
At iSurgeon, we provide ongoing aftercare to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible visual outcome.

Presbyond vs Other Vision Correction Options
Still wondering whether Presbyond is right for you? Here’s how it compares to other vision correction treatments:
| Treatment | Best For | Recovery Time | Glasses-Free Vision? | Permanent? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Presbyond | Over 40, presbyopia, active lifestyle | 24-48 hours | ✅ Mostly | ✅ Yes |
| Reading Glasses | Occasional use, mild presbyopia | None | ❌ No | ❌ No |
| Multifocal Contact Lenses | Active lifestyle, no surgery | None | ✅ Yes (while wearing) | ❌ No |
| Lens Replacement Surgery (RLE) | Severe presbyopia, cataracts | 1-2 weeks | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
Presbyond bridges the gap between traditional laser eye surgery and lens replacement, offering a permanent and natural vision correction without the need for implantable lenses.
