PresbyMAX

PresbyMAX (bi-aspheric multifocal corneal ablation) is the most individualized profile of laser vision correction for presbyopia with co-occurring visual defects (ranging from - 7.0 diopters to +3 diopters and up to 4.0 cylinders) or without these defects that we can currently offer a patient. PresbyMax is the least invasive method and results in the fewest possible complications.

PRESBYMAX, OR PRESBYOPIA TREATMENT

Course and effects of the treatment

There is a kind of islet in the central part of the cornea. This central part of the cornea is responsible for sharp near vision, while the peripheral part of the cornea allows for sharp distance vision. During the PresbyMAX procedure, the cornea is modeled with a laser so that its new curvature allows the patient to see from different distances. The central part of the cornea allows for near vision, while the peripheral part facilitates intermediate and distant vision. The amount of light entering the eye is not shared equally between the two parts mentioned. The PresbyMAX treatment is able to free the patient from the need to wear reading glasses.

PresbyMax’s presbyopic profile is performed only with the FemtoLASIK 7D method. During the procedure, a corneal flap is created with a femtosecond laser, and the corneal correction itself is done by a Schwind Amaris 1050 RS Excimer laser. Improvements in near and far vision occur as early as a few hours after the procedure, with vision from intermediate and farther distances appearing as early as the next day. The patient’s vision quality improves after a few weeks. One of the conditions for undergoing PresbyMAX is that the patient’s own lens be translucent. This means that if the doctor notices even the slightest clouding of the lens, heralding the beginnings of cataracts, he will not perform the PresbyMAX procedure, and then refractive lens replacement or cataract surgery with modern implants to enable continued reading is recommended. If the choice is a multifocal lens (trifocal, multifocal or EDOF), it will enable very good visual acuity for distance, near (35-40 cm) and intermediate distance (60-90 cm). Trifocals lenses allow for very good near and far vision and slightly worse at intermediate distances. EDOF lenses, on the other hand, make them very good from far away, good at intermediate distances, and slightly worse up close.

Contraindications to the procedure

In addition to cataracts, contraindications to the PresbyMAX procedure include:

Glaucoma, inflammation of the eye, cone, dystrophies and other corneal abnormalities
autoimmune (autoimmune) diseases
endocrine disruptors
implanted pacemaker
unfavorable optical parameters of the eye such as thin cornea, too wide pupils, too steep or flat corneal curvature, severe dry eye syndrome

ADVANTAGES OF THE PRESBYMAX METHOD

Low invasiveness of the procedure

Short duration (a few minutes)

High quality vision from all distances

A small number of complications

Possibility of simultaneous correction of visual defects

For optimal treatment results, the procedure must be performed in both eyes. In a few cases, patients have to use small positive power nearsighted glasses after the procedure in low light conditions. J Since different factors affect the effect of the correction in each individual case, the PresbyMax treatment can be repeated after at least 6 months if necessary. Doctored is equally minimally invasive and safe.
