Laser Blended Vision Treatment for Presbyopia by Professor Dan Reinstein

A technical description of the safest and most effective method of surgically correcting presbyopia or ageing eyes. Intraocular multifocal lenses compromise the quality of vision in exchange for seeing at different distances. Monovision is only tolerated by some patients and involves giving very poor distance vision in the eye set for reading. Laser Blended Vision as developed by Professor Dan Reinstein and co-workers at the London Vision Clinic and Carl Zeiss Meditec provides continuous vision from near to intermediate and far without compromising contrast sensitivity or night vision and can be used in patients with hyperopia (long-sighted), myopia (short-sighted) or astigmatism. Laser Blended VIsion using the Visumax femtosecond laser and the MEL80 excimer laser has probably the lowest complication rate of any surgical intervention for presbyopia.

A very good treatment for Presby is the RAP by iVis Technologies, it is also fully reversible

Oh! And congratulations for winning 1st Prize for New Techniques at this year's American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery annual meeting (ASCRS)!!

This is by far the best method of correcting presbyopia at the moment. It takes advantage of the simplicity of LASIK (millions upon millions performed, safe, fast, painless), with the knowledge that we have about brain adaptation to slight differences between the eyes. So many patients have trouble with multifocal lenses (really being pushed by manufacturers!). I cant wait until this is commercially available. Mr. Zeiss - COME TO THE USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
