What Are The Differences Between PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision And Monovision Contact Lenses?

Mr Glenn Carp – “In monovision one eye is focused mainly for distance and the other one is focused more for near.  With contact lenses we get a very fixed focal plane, so while the distance eye is good for distance and the near eye is good for near, there is often a gap in the middle range in the intermediate vision.  In PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision in the same way the distance eye is focused for distance and the near is for near but they are both given a depth of field increase allowing them both to work in the intermediate zone as well.  This presents a situation whereby it is far better tolerated for the patient.”

PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision Explained Further…

PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision is not to be confused with traditional monovision – a practice in which the contact lenses are set with one eye for near and one eye for distance. The difference with the PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision technique is that the PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision near eye sees much better at distance than the near eye set with traditional monovision, similarly the PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision distance eye sees more up close than the distance eye with traditional monovision. Because PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision is milder than monovision, far more people are able to adapt to it than to monovision. Approximately 95% of people are candidates for PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision as compared to about 50% for traditional monovision.
