PresbyMAX Excimer Laser Photorefractive Keratectomy (PresbyLASIK)
After 40, many people notice a familiar situation: text on their phone screens moves further and further away, reading becomes less comfortable, and routine tasks become more difficult without additional vision correction. These changes are usually caused by presbyopia, a natural age-related process that affects the eye's ability to focus at close range.
Today, glasses or contact lenses are not the only option for these patients. Modern laser correction of presbyopia reduces dependence on additional vision correction. One such solution is PresbyMAX. At K31 Clinic, we use this approach after a comprehensive examination and a detailed assessment of each patient's vision. If a patient is interested in age-related farsightedness correction in Moscow, a decision on the feasibility of the procedure is made only after a diagnosis.

Who is PresbyLasik suitable for?
Not every patient with age-related vision changes is a candidate for surgery. The decision is always made individually.
When the method may not be suitable: limitations and contraindications
The result and suitability of PresbyMAX are determined only after an examination by an ophthalmologist.
Limitations may include Corneal diseases, unstable refraction, severe dry eye, certain chronic diseases, and other conditions that can impact the safety of the procedure. This is why correction of age-related farsightedness always begins with diagnosis, not treatment selection.
Indications for the procedure
PresbyLASIK is most often considered in the following cases:
- Patients with age-related farsightedness
- Those who want to be less dependent on reading glasses
- With stable refraction
- With sufficient corneal parameters
- If there are no contraindications based on the examination results
People often contact us because they are tired of constantly changing several pairs of glasses for different distances or using contact lenses for everyday tasks.
Before recommending surgical treatment to a patient, we must obtain as complete information as possible about the condition of the visual system.
What examinations are needed before correction?
A comprehensive vision diagnosis includes an assessment of refraction, corneal thickness and condition, intraocular pressure measurement, fundus examination, and other tests.
How an individualized treatment plan is selected?
We always evaluate the eye's condition comprehensively. The patient's age, refractive error, lifestyle, professional workload, and expectations for the result are all important.
"We always start with diagnostics: for PresbyMAX, it's important not only to reduce dependence on glasses, but also to accurately understand how each eye functions and what amount of correction will be safe and predictable. This is why we focus on individual selection and patient care after the procedure."
Therefore, individualized selection of correction is a mandatory part of the preparation. In some cases, your doctor may recommend an alternative treatment option if the prognosis after surgery is questionable.
How is PresbyMAX performed?
Preparation on the Day of the Procedure
On the day of the procedure, the doctor will recheck your vision and answer any remaining questions.
No special preparation is usually required. It is important to follow the recommendations given during the consultation.
Stages of the Procedure
Excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy is performed using a modern excimer laser.
The main stages include:
- Preparation of the surgical field
- Local anesthesia with eye drops
- Laser modeling of the corneal surface
- Result monitoring
- Application of a protective lens, if necessary
The procedure is based on the technology used by modern excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy to change the optical characteristics of the eye.
How long does the procedure last and what does the patient feel?
The procedure itself takes a short time. Most patients only notice touch and bright light. There is usually no pain during the laser procedure.
After the procedure, a temporary foreign body sensation, photosensitivity, or mild discomfort may occur.
General information
Advantages of PresbyMAX in our practice
With the right indications, this technology helps solve a problem that until recently required the constant use of several correction options.
Distance and near vision without constant dependence on glasses
The main advantage of this method is the ability to simultaneously improve both distance and near vision. For many patients, this means reduced dependence on additional correction devices in everyday life.
It is important to understand that laser correction of presbyopia does not guarantee complete elimination of glasses for all patients. The final result depends on the initial condition of the eyes and the characteristics of the visual system.
Fast recovery and predictable results
Modern laser technologies allow for highly accurate correction. Thanks to this, recovery after surgery is usually quite quick, and results can be predicted even during the preparation stage.
Individualized approach from a team of ophthalmologists
For us, it's not just about performing the surgery, but finding a solution that fits the patient's lifestyle.
Therefore, individual correction is determined based on a complete examination. Laser correction specialists and an experienced ophthalmic surgeon are involved in the work if the situation requires further evaluation.

How to Prepare for Your Visit
Before your visit, it's a good idea to bring your previous examination results and a list of medications you're taking regularly. This will help the doctor quickly assess your clinical situation.
Why It's Important Not to Delay Diagnosis
The sooner a patient is examined, the more correction options can be considered. If you're concerned about age-related farsightedness, have difficulty reading, or have decreased vision at different distances, schedule a consultation at the K31 Clinic in Moscow.
We'll conduct an examination, assess your eye condition, and tell you if PresbyMAX is right for you.

What is PresbyMAX and how does it work?
PresbyMAX is a modern laser vision correction technology that helps improve vision at various distances. This method is one of the approaches used in modern refractive surgery to address age-related vision changes.
Principle of Multifocal Corneal Correction
The basic idea of this technology is that a laser reshapes the cornea so that the eye can better perceive images at both near and far distances.
This is why PresbyMAX is considered a treatment option for patients who have developed age-related farsightedness and deteriorating near vision.
How does PresbyMAX differ from traditional laser vision correction?
Conventional laser vision correction is most often aimed at correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. With age-related changes, the task becomes more complex, as it is necessary to maintain comfortable distance vision while simultaneously improving near vision.
Therefore, PresbyLASIK differs in the calculation principle of correction and the specifics of the laser treatment. The method takes into account age-related changes in accommodation and helps adapt the eye's optical system to new visual challenges.
