Thank you, Sabine L! Close Previous Next ## FAQs on Presbyond laser eye surgery FAQs about Presbyond laser eye surgery for presbyopia in Belgium. What is Presbyond and how does it work? Presbyond uses advanced ZEISS VisuMax laser technology to reshape the cornea and extend the depth of focus. This allows patients to see clearly at both near and far distances without reading glasses. Medifocus assesses your suitability through a thorough pre-operative examination. Who is a good candidate for Presbyond in Belgium? Men and women aged 45–60 with presbyopia and healthy eyes are typically eligible for Presbyond. A pre-operative screening at Medifocus in Leuven determines your suitability. Presbyond can also correct myopia or astigmatism alongside age-related near vision loss, making it highly versatile for many patients. How is Presbyond different from other treatments? Unlike standard LASIK or full lens replacement, Presbyond provides a “blended vision” that retains natural distance focus while improving near clarity. It’s ideal for active adults seeking minimal downtime. If the cornea isn’t suitable, we may recommend lens surgery instead. Is Presbyond safe? Yes. Presbyond is performed exclusively with the ZEISS VisuMax laser — one of the most advanced in the world and CE-certified for use across Europe. At Medifocus, safety is non-negotiable; we work only with top-tier certified systems and make no compromises on quality. ## Ready to enjoy life without reading glasses?
