PresbyMAX offers innovative presbyopia correction, enabling clear near and far vision without glasses.
Book your FREE consultationPresbyMAX® is an advanced laser eye surgery procedure exclusively available on the Schwind Amaris 1050RS laser platform.
Designed to treat presbyopia, also known as 'reading vision problems,' PresbyMAX® can simultaneously correct other vision issues such as myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism (irregular eye shape).
How does PresbyMAX® work?
PresbyMAX® is a quick and precise laser eye surgery that helps improve your vision by extending the depth of focus in your non-dominant eye.
This allows for a smoother transition between seeing things up close and far away.
The procedure is minimally invasive, meaning it doesn't involve touching or replacing the lens of your eye, and it takes just a few minutes to complete. Over 26,000 people with presbyopia have experienced the benefits of PresbyMAX®.
PresbyMAX® works by changing how the cornea, the front part of your eye, handles light. Instead of focusing light from a single point, the laser reshapes your cornea to direct light from multiple points, giving you a clearer range of vision both near and far.
At OCL Vision, we've refined and developed the PresbyMAX® laser treatment to ensure the best and most natural visual results. As one of only five centres worldwide chosen as a reference site for PresbyMAX®, we work closely with Schwind to provide first-class care and state-of-the-art vision correction.

Emma Laser Eye surgeryThe way I was dealt by Dr Laginaf was nothing short of outstanding. She went above and beyond and I would like to thank Dr Laginaf for the attention to detail.
Suhail VitrectomyGreat experience with Dr Chien Wong and his team. I needed to have three separate operations to repair a detached retina and poor NHS interventions. Amazing care and treatment and 2 years later still very grateful for their efforts.
Gordon Cataract SurgerySo much care, from the initial enquiry to the final check-up, every team member treats you as if you are the most important person they have ever dealt with. I completed my treatment feeling valued and with better than 20/20 vision.

PresbyMAX® FAQs
View knowledge baseWhat vision problems can PresbyMAX® correct?
PresbyMAX® is designed to treat presbyopia (age-related reading vision problems), as well as other refractive errors such as myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism (irregular eye shape) or a combination of these. This comprehensive approach allows for clear vision at multiple distances.
How long does the PresbyMAX® procedure take and what is the recovery time?
The PresbyMAX® procedure is quick, typically taking only a few minutes per eye. Because it is minimally invasive and does not involve creating a flap or replacing the lens, recovery time is fast. Most people can return to their normal activities within a day or two, with full visual stabilisation occurring over the following weeks.

Suitable candidates for PresbyMAX® are those experiencing reading vision problems (presbyopia), and potentially other refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
