Are you over 40 and finding yourself constantly reaching for reading glasses? Do everyday tasks like checking your phone, reading a menu, or working on a computer feel like a struggle? You’re not alone. This age-related vision change is called presbyopia, and for years, multifocal glasses or contact lenses were the only solutions.
But what if you could say goodbye to those struggles and embrace visual freedom? At Centre For Sight, we’re proud to introduce PresbyMAX Laser treatment – a revolutionary solution for presbyopia, now available across our facilities.
Before diving into the solution, let’s understand the challenge. Presbyopia is a natural, age-related condition that typically begins in your early to mid-40s and progresses until around age 65. It’s not a disease, but rather a normal part of the aging process of your eyes
Inside your eye, there’s a natural lens that changes shape to focus light onto your retina, allowing you to see objects at different distances. With age, this lens becomes less flexible and loses its ability to change shape effectively. This makes it increasingly difficult for your eyes to focus on close-up objects, leading to blurred vision for reading, using digital devices, and other near tasks.
While previously managed with bifocals, trifocals, or reading glasses, modern ophthalmology now offers advanced surgical solutions like PresbyMAX.
PresbyMAX is a cutting-edge laser eye surgery specifically designed to correct presbyopia, allowing you to see clearly at near, intermediate, and far distances. Unlike traditional refractive surgeries that focus on a single point, PresbyMAX creates a unique, bi-aspheric multifocal profile on your cornea. This innovative approach ensures a seamless transition of vision for all your daily activities, from reading fine print to driving at night.
Performed using the highly advanced SCHWIND AMARIS 1050RS Excimer Laser System, PresbyMAX laser treatment is precise, safe, and delivers exceptional visual outcomes. Centre For Sight brings this world-class technology and expertise to you, right here in India.
PresbyMAX expertly reshapes your cornea to mimic the effect of a natural multifocal lens. The procedure typically involves treating your non-dominant eye with a sophisticated multifocal profile optimized for near and intermediate vision, while your dominant eye is precisely corrected for distance vision. This creates a “blended vision” (often referred to as mini-monovision) effect, where your brain naturally adapts to use each eye for its best-suited distance, working together to give you excellent overall clarity.
Customized Treatment: Every eye is unique. Before your surgery, our expert eye surgeons conduct a thorough examination and detailed diagnostics (corneal topography, wavefront analysis) to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific visual needs and corneal structure.
Precision Laser Application: The SCHWIND AMARIS 1050RS laser, renowned for its speed and accuracy, reshapes your cornea with microscopic precision. Its 7D eye-tracking technology ensures perfect alignment, even with the slightest eye movements, guaranteeing the highest level of safety and accuracy.
Minimally Invasive: No stitches, no injections, just a quick and comfortable procedure, making it a preferred laser eye surgery option.
Rapid Visual Recovery: Many patients experience noticeable improvement in their near vision almost immediately, with stable vision developing over a few weeks.
High Success Rates: Clinical studies consistently show high success rates and patient satisfaction with PresbyMAX, making it a trusted choice for presbyopia correction.
Natural Feel: The blended vision approach allows for a comfortable adaptation, mimicking how your natural eyes would work if they could focus at all distances.

Embrace a life less reliant on glasses even when you are in your 40s or 50s. PresbyMAX offers a multitude of advantages for individuals seeking freedom from presbyopia:
Goodbye to Reading Glasses: The most significant benefit! Enjoy the convenience of seeing clearly at near, intermediate, and far distances without constantly switching glasses. Experience a life of spectacle independence.
Comprehensive Vision Correction: PresbyMAX doesn’t just treat presbyopia. It can simultaneously correct other refractive errors like myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism (cylindrical power), providing a holistic vision correction solution.
Advanced Technology: We utilize the most advanced SCHWIND AMARIS 1050RS excimer laser technology for unparalleled precision, speed, and safety in laser vision correction.
Experienced Surgeons: Our team of highly skilled and board-certified ophthalmologists at Centre For Sight has extensive experience in refractive surgery and presbyopia treatment, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
While PresbyMAX is a safe and effective procedure, it’s essential to be aware of potential considerations, as with any surgical intervention:
Adaptation Period: It can take some time (usually a few weeks to up to 1 month) for your brain to fully adapt to the new multifocal vision. During this phase, some patients may experience mild blurriness, glare, or halos, particularly in low-light conditions or while driving at night. These symptoms generally diminish over time.
Dry Eye: Temporary dry eyes are a common side effect of laser eye surgery. This is typically managed with lubricating eye drops and usually resolves as the eyes heal.
Under or Over-correction: In rare cases, the desired correction may not be fully achieved, potentially requiring an enhancement procedure (retreatment).
Our surgeons will discuss these potential risks and your individual suitability in detail during your comprehensive consultation, ensuring you make an informed decision.
PresbyMAX is an excellent option for many individuals struggling with age-related near vision loss. You might be a good candidate if you:
Our team will conduct all necessary diagnostic tests to confirm if PresbyMAX is the right treatment for you.
At Centre For Sight, we believe in affordable access to world-class eye care. The cost of PresbyMAX surgery in India can vary based on several factors, including:
While it is an advanced procedure, we strive to offer competitive pricing. During your initial comprehensive consultation, after a thorough eye examination and assessment of your suitability, our team will provide you with a detailed and personalized PresbyMAX cost estimate.

While multifocal glasses and contact lenses offer temporary solutions, PresbyMAX offers a lasting change to your vision. Compared to some other surgical options for presbyopia, like Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) with multifocal IOLs, PresbyMAX:
Preserves Your Natural Lens: It reshapes the cornea, leaving your natural lens untouched. This is a significant advantage for many.
Minimally Invasive: Generally considered less invasive than intraocular lens procedures.
Potentially Reversible: In some cases, further laser treatments can modify the corneal profile, which is not typically possible with lens replacement.
Your eye surgeon will discuss all suitable presbyopia treatment options for your individual case during your consultation, helping you choose the best eye surgery for your needs.
Don’t let presbyopia limit your daily life. PresbyMAX, you can regain your visual freedom and enjoy clear vision at every distance. Trust the best eye hospital for your vision needs.
Yes, PresbyMAX is considered a safe and effective procedure as it is performed on one of the fastest yet safest lasers – SCHWIND AMARIS 1050RS.
The actual laser ablation takes only a few seconds per eye, and the entire procedure is typically completed within a few minutes.
Most patients experience rapid visual improvement and can resume daily activities within a day or two. Full visual stabilization and neuroadaptation usually occur over several weeks to a few months.
The goal of PresbyMAX is to significantly reduce or eliminate your dependence on reading glasses and often glasses for distance vision as well. While most patients achieve excellent spectacle independence for daily activities, some may occasionally use weak glasses for very fine print or specific tasks in challenging lighting conditions.
Absolutely. PresbyMAX is designed to simultaneously correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism along with presbyopia, making it a comprehensive vision correction solution.
