Presbyopia LASIK

Presbyopia LASIK/LASEK

For patients with early presbyopia around their 40s, this is a method similar to conventional laser vision correction surgery that uses a laser to improve presbyopia symptoms.

Features of Presbyopia LASIK/LASEK

Presbyopia LASIK/LASEK is a customized correction method based on thorough consultation and communication with the patient regarding the progression of presbyopia, refractive error, age, lifestyle patterns, and adaptation. One representative surgical method uses binocular vision: each eye is corrected differently, with one eye for clear distance vision and the other for clear near vision, thereby improving both near and distance vision. After a certain period following surgery, patients adapt to the difference in viewing distances between the two eyes, using the dominant eye primarily for distance vision and the non-dominant eye primarily for near vision.

❶ The procedure is relatively simple, and recovery is quick.

❷ Distance vision and presbyopia can be corrected simultaneously.

❸ Glasses and reading glasses are no longer necessary.

❹ Advanced, fast, and precise laser equipment enables safe surgery.

Candidates for Presbyopia LASIK/LASEK

✓ Those in their 40s or older who have developed presbyopia

✓ Those with myopia

✓ Those with sufficient corneal thickness to undergo SMILE, LASIK, or LASEK surgery

Although symptoms improve over time, dry eye and nighttime glare may occur in the early postoperative period. Therefore, individuals whose occupations require precise, detailed work or who frequently drive or fly at night may not be suitable candidates for monovision or presbyopia LASIK/LASEK. A thorough consultation with the medical staff is necessary before deciding on surgery.
