Many of these patients are still enjoying clear, glasses-free vision thanks to this life-changing treatment. But there was one refractive error that Laser Eye Surgery was once powerless against: presbyopia. That is, until the development of PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision. This revolutionary treatment for presbyopia (which literally translates to “old eye”) has helped many…

By the use of tiny dots of colour (known as pointillism) the viewer is required to join the dots rather than having the paints already blended on the canvas. This technique is pretty time consuming for the artist – Seurat took two years to complete his famous “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte”. When viewing his great works I can’t help but wonder about his eyesight and how these pictures might be viewed by those with colour blindness….
