Choosing a path to better reading vision
Let your LASERSIGHT surgical team guide you
Presbyopia, also referred to as age related farsightedness, is a common condition for people over 40 years of age. At LASERSIGHT we have numerous different approaches to addressing presbyopia to improve your reading vision. Your recommended treatment may involve intraocular lenses (IOL), refractive lens exchange (RLE), a presbyopia-specific Lasik procedure, or other surgical intervention.

Our individualised treatment recommendations will be based on your needs and your eyes. Our expert team ensures a safe, personalised experience from start to finish, with minimal discomfort and a fast recovery.
Procedure Time
The treatment time will vary depending on which option is best for you, but in most cases the entire procedure will take less than forty minutes for two eyes. You’ll be in and out of the clinic within two hours, including preparation and post-care.
Typical Results
Most patients experience noticeable vision improvement within 24 hours. While individual results vary, the majority achieve 20/20 vision or better, reducing or eliminating their dependence on glasses and contacts. Your personalised treatment plan ensures the best possible outcome.
Recovery Time
Recovery is generally quick, with most patients returning to their normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. Mild discomfort like dryness or sensitivity to light may occur, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days as your eyes heal naturally.
