Is PRESBYOND truly a revolution in vision correction for individuals with presbyopia? Let’s find out!
Presbyopia or vision decline is a normal part of aging. Most people often start noticing vision changes in their 40s. These changes continue to progress well into old age.
Many middle-aged people rely on reading glasses to perform everyday tasks like driving, reading, using their mobile phones, cooking, etc. While some learn to adjust and live with this ‘new normal’, others have a hard time remembering to carry their glasses everywhere, where they last kept them, or reaching for them every time they have to do a close-up task – and rightfully so.
We agree glasses can be a bit of a hassle – the constant fogging up, the slipping, the maintenance. This is precisely what gives rise to the need for a permanent solution.
PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision is one such permanent vision correction solution for those above 40 (fitting other eligibility requirements) and desiring to part ways with their eyeglasses. It’s the latest innovation in specs removal for the 40+ age group and is said to yield highly satisfactory results.
But the question remains – Is PRESBYOND really worth it? Over the last few years, we’ve seen monovision specs removed for those aged 40+, which, due to its now outdated approach, did not seem to deliver exceptional visual results to patients.
But can PRESBYOND really be a game-changer for vision correction after 40? Read along to know more!
What is PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision?
PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision is being hailed as the world’s latest & most advanced specs removal technology for those above the age of 40. While it primarily corrects presbyopia by creating a “blend zone” between the vision of both eyes, the surgery is also suitable for myopia, hyperopia, and cylindrical powers. Its treatment range includes sphere eye power: -8.0 D to +2.0 D and cylinder eye power: 0 to 2.00 D (via ZEISS).
Traditional monovision technologies have helped many regain clear vision, but they corrected both eyes with a stark difference, resulting in disrupted vision (at times, due to small focal points), difficulty with depth perception, and a longer neuroadaptation period. But PRESBYOND goes beyond simply correcting one eye for distance vision and the other for near.
Through its smart surgical planning, the technology creates a blend zone, balancing vision for both eyes. This increases the depth of field, making it easy to naturally shift focus between near and distant vision.
| MONOVISION | BLENDED VISION |
| – Small focal points – Gap between focal points – Unclear intermediate vision due to gap – Unsatisfactory visual results & difficulty in neuroadaptation | – Increased depth of focus – Blended vision zone (No gap between focal points) – Clear near, intermediate & far vision due to blend zone – Enhanced visual results & better neuroadaptation |
PRESBYOND > Recurring Cost of Glasses
PRESBYOND is a one-time investment for freedom from age-related refractive errors and permanent visual clarity (barring other eye conditions like cataract or glaucoma). A lifetime of buying spectacles or contact lenses is by no means a pocket-friendly ordeal.
Let’s assume you spend approximately ₹2500 every time you buy a new pair of glasses. Now, let’s assume you change your specs every 6 months and keep an extra pair handy in case of contingencies. That’s ₹2500-5000 biannually. Now let’s factor in the cost of contact lenses you may get for special occasions. One pair of premium quality contact lenses can cost you somewhere between ₹500 and ₹1500, depending on the type of customisations and refractive errors you get them for. If we assume 1 pair of lenses for every month of the year, the annual cost of lenses amounts to approximately ₹18,000.
Now imagine spending this amount of money year after year with no end in sight. With inflation and an increase in product prices almost every year, you can expect a rise in annual costs as well.
On the other hand, while PRESBYOND may look like the more expensive option in plain sight, it’s important to remember this is just a one-time cost. That means no more stressing about broken eyeglasses, misplaced contact lenses, or the recurring costs every few months.
PRESBYOND is more of an investment – an investment for your vision, for a brighter life.
