Wish I’d done it sooner
I was quite nervous but the experience from beginning to end was seamless and reassuring – from consultation to the actual surgery, to the follow-up appointments. Can recommend. Wish I had done it sooner.

Frequently asked questions
What is Presbyond surgery and how does it work?
Presbyond is a laser eye procedure designed for people over 40 who rely on reading glasses. It gently reshapes the cornea to extend your natural range of vision, helping you see clearly close up, in the middle distance and far away.
What is Refractive lens exchange (RLE)?
RLE replaces your eye’s natural lens with a clear, artificial lens chosen to match your vision needs. It works much like cataract surgery but is done before cataracts can develop.
What are the risks?
All procedures carry risks, but serious complications are rare. We’ll explain all potential risks and benefits during your consultation so you can make a confident decision.
How long is recovery?
After Presbyond, most patients return to activities within a few days. Your brain naturally adapts to the new range of vision. This ‘neuroadaptation’ happens gradually and comfortably over time.
After RLE, most patients notice improved vision immediately, with stabilisation over several weeks.
Disclaimer: Results and recovery times vary between patients.
Risks and alternatives will be explained clearly at your consultation.
