What is Presbyond?

PRESBYOND® is the evolution in presbyopia (reading vision loss) correction developed by Carl Zeiss and available exclusively at the Cornea Institute in Colombia.

This revolutionary technique uses the VisuMax 800 laser to create a personalized correction profile that allows the eye to focus objects at different distances: near, intermediate and distance, significantly reducing dependence on reading glasses or progressive lenses.

PRESBYOND is ideal for patients over 40 years old who experience difficulty reading or seeing near objects, offering a permanent and natural solution.

With Presbyond, you enjoy clear multifocal vision at all distances without the need for glasses:

Personalized ZEISS Technology

The VisuMax 800 creates personalized correction profiles according to the specific visual needs of each patient.

Who is a Candidate for Presbyond?

Ideal for patients with:

  • Age over 40 years
  • Presbyopia symptoms (difficulty reading or seeing up close)
  • Desire to reduce dependence on reading glasses or progressive lenses
  • Adequate corneal thickness (evaluated with PENTACAM HR)
  • No ocular medical contraindications
  • Realistic expectations about results

Important: A complete evaluation with Dr. Alberto Chacón will determine if you are a candidate for PRESBYOND. The technique can be combined with myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism correction if necessary.

Step-by-Step Process

1

Consultation and Evaluation

Complete evaluation with Dr. Alberto Chacón in Bogotá. Analysis of visual needs (near, intermediate, distance) and specialized exams with PENTACAM HR to determine candidacy.

2

Personalized Design

The VisuMax 800 calculates the optimal correction profile according to the patient's specific needs, creating a personalized extended vision zone.

Frequently Asked Questions about Presbyond

What is Presbyond and who is it suitable for?

PRESBYOND is an advanced laser surgery technique developed by Carl Zeiss to correct presbyopia (reading vision loss) in patients over 40 years old. It is ideal for people who need glasses to read or see up close and want to reduce their dependence on lenses.

Does Presbyond allow near, intermediate and distance vision?

Yes, PRESBYOND creates an extended vision zone that allows clear vision of near objects (reading, phone), intermediate (computer, tablet) and distance (driving, television) without the need for glasses in most daily activities.

At what age can Presbyond be performed?

PRESBYOND is indicated for patients over 40 years old who already present presbyopia symptoms (difficulty seeing up close). There is no upper age limit as long as the patient is a candidate for laser surgery.

How long does recovery take after Presbyond?

Visual recovery with PRESBYOND is progressive. Most patients notice improvement in near and intermediate vision in the first weeks. Complete adaptation can take 2 to 3 months, during which time the brain adapts to the new multifocal vision.

Is Presbyond better than progressive lenses?

PRESBYOND offers advantages over progressive lenses: it does not require constantly wearing glasses, more natural vision without lateral distortions, and it is a permanent solution. However, some patients may need occasional glasses for very specific fine reading tasks.

How much does Presbyond cost in Bogotá?

The cost of PRESBYOND varies according to the specific case and whether it is combined with correction of other refractive defects. We offer specialized evaluation consultation to determine the best treatment and financing options. Contact us at (601) 612 8426 or by WhatsApp +57 320 837 7823.

Why is the Cornea Institute the only center in Colombia with Presbyond?

The Cornea Institute S.A.S. is the only center in Colombia with the VisuMax 800 technology from Carl Zeiss, which is necessary to perform PRESBYOND. This advanced technology allows creating personalized correction profiles that optimize multifocal vision.

Can Presbyond be combined with myopia or astigmatism correction?

Yes, PRESBYOND can be combined with myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism correction in the same procedure. The VisuMax 800 and MEL 90 Excimer allow correcting multiple refractive defects simultaneously.
