Timeline of Your PRESBYOND Treatment
We’ll guide you step by step through the timeline of your laser eye treatment, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. From the initial preliminary examination to the final follow-up check, you’ll find all the important information here to help you feel well-prepared and confident.
- Before treatment
Preliminary and primary examination
After the free and non-binding preliminary examination, you’ll return for the main examination. Please note that you should avoid wearing contact lenses for at least four days before your appointment. Additionally, eye drops will be administered during the tests, which may impair your vision for several hours — so you should not drive. We recommend using public transportation to travel to the main examination. During these tests, your vision, cornea, and the back of your eye will be thoroughly examined to determine the best treatment method for you.
- Treatment day
Treatment process and procedure
The third appointment is when the PRESBYOND treatment takes place. The process is similar to a traditional laser eye procedure using Femto-LASIK. After numbing your eyes with eye drops, a flap is created in the top layer of the cornea and folded back. The laser is then used to correct the visual impairment underneath. In the PRESBYOND procedure, the dominant eye is corrected for distance vision, while the other is adjusted for near vision. The flap is then folded back into place, serving as a natural protective lens for the eye. The appointment takes about an hour.
- After the first few hours
Possible symptoms
Immediately after the treatment, you may experience increased light sensitivity, red eyes, and a foreign body sensation during the first few hours. Other symptoms may include cloudy vision, watery, dry, burning, or swollen eyes, as well as temporarily fluctuating vision. It is recommended to wear sunglasses as protection against glare and foreign particles.*
- After 24 hours
First follow-up
The first follow-up check takes place the next day. During this visit, your new vision without corrective lenses will be checked for the first time. Typically, a confirmation for the road traffic office can also be issued at this point. In general, you can resume your daily activities as usual.
- After 7 days
Second Follow-up
Your second follow-up check takes place after one week. With PRESBYOND, you will often have already achieved full vision and no longer experience significant side effects. It’s important to continue following the recommended hygiene measures and apply the eye drops according to the prescribed schedule.
- After 14 days
Back to everyday life
Sports, swimming, and sauna use are allowed again, as well as wearing makeup and creams around the eye area. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach out to the Medical Team or our Customer Care Team.
- After 2 months
Final Follow-up
A final follow-up check will take place after approximately two months to assess your vision and ensure the optimal long-term healing process of the eye.
*Please note that an individual’s sensitivity to pain and the perception of symptoms can vary from one person to another. Therefore, the process may be slightly different for you.
