Presbyond Laser Blended Vision aims to reduce dependence on reading glasses in presbyopia, which usually appears after the age of 40. It is considered for adults of about 40 to 65 with a stable prescription and healthy corneas. In Turkey, partner ophthalmology clinics offer it from $1,800 for both eyes, and the procedure itself takes well under an hour for both eyes.
Results vary from one patient to another: some patients still need glasses for small print or low light, and a touch-up may be needed. Your eligibility depends on the preoperative assessment (corneal topography and tomography, corneal thickness, tear film),not on price.
Cost of Presbyond laser in Turkey
In Turkey, Presbyond laser starts from $1,800 for both eyes. The final price depends on the clinic, the surgeon, your eyes and what the package includes (preoperative tests, procedure, medication, follow-up, accommodation and transfers).
Compare complete packages rather than the price of the procedure alone, and ask for a written quote that lists what the package includes, including the cost of a possible enhancement.
Risks and Side Effects
- Dry eye, common in the first weeks and persistent in some patients.
- Glare, halos and reduced night vision, which usually improve but can persist.
- Fluctuating or blurred vision, difficulty adapting to blended vision, or a need for reading glasses for small print or low light.
- Under- or over-correction and regression, which may require an enhancement.
- Loss of one or more lines of best corrected distance vision in some patients.
