PresbyMAX is the laser correction of presbyopia: one single procedure to see near and far — without glasses, without contact lenses. Day surgery with AMARIS 1050RS laser. Reversible.
After 40, the lens progressively loses its ability to focus at close range (presbyopia). PresbyMAX solves this with the laser: it sculpts the cornea with a bi-aspheric multizonal ablation profile — central zone for near, pericentral zone for distance, transition zone for intermediate.
The most prescribed variant is μ-Monovision: faster neural adaptation compared to other variants, maximum comfort in daily life, excellent spatial vision. The choice of variant is personalised based on ocular dominance.

After 40, the lens loses elasticity and the accommodation mechanism — the eye's ability to focus at different distances — no longer works. No technique restores it: all work around this limitation, compensating for it differently. PresbyMAX, Presbyond, Supracor e IOL are all valid approaches, with different indications for age, anatomy and expectations — and all involve a visual compromise. The difference with PresbyMAX is just one: it is the only one completely without contact with the eye — no flap, no incision.
The choice of variant is personalised by the doctor during the diagnostic examination, based on ocular dominance, refraction and the patient's expectations.
It is not an irreversible decision. Schwind prevede three modification or reversal options — available from 6 months after the initial procedure, once healing is complete.
Topografia MS-39, aberrometria Peramis e pachimetria — tutto eseguito gratuitamente alla visita diagnostica. Nessun impegno.
Without glasses at 50. Without invasive surgery.
No hidden costs. The price includes the final pre-operative examination, procedure, therapeutic lens, all post-operative check-ups and the 5-year guarantee.
No. The procedure is painless thanks to anaesthetic drops. In the first 48–72 hours, burning, tearing and photosensitivity may appear — normal symptoms of epithelial healing, manageable with prescribed eye drops.
Yes. The bi-aspheric multizonal profile optimises each corneal zone for a different distance — the brain integrates the signals naturally. The neural adaptation period is 4–8 weeks. With μ-Monovision — the most prescribed variant — recovery is particularly rapid. In rare cases, neural adaptation is slower and visual quality perfects completely after a few months.
Yes. The ablation profile is permanent but the treatment is reversible. Schwind provides three options: repetition of PresbyMAX if presbyopia progresses, Aberration-Free treatment to improve distance, or complete reversal (Reversal) if the patient does not accept the multifocal compromise. All re-treatments are available from 6 months after the procedure.
PresbyMAX è a corneal laser treatment: no intraocular incision. Multifocal IOL replaces the lens with an artificial one — typically indicated after 60 or in case of advanced cataract. For patients between 40 and 60 with a transparent lens, PresbyMAX is the preferable and reversible approach.
In the first 4–8 weeks, halos and night light reflections may appear — effect of neural adaptation. In the vast majority of patients they subside within 3–6 months. Night driving in the first weeks should be agreed with the surgeon.

La μ-Monovision è the most prescribed variant perché richiede il periodo di adattamento neuronale più breve tra le tre varianti, with the best balance between comfort at all distances. Like all techniques for presbyopia, PresbyMAX also requires neural adaptation — typically 4–8 weeks, in some cases up to several months — before the brain fully integrates the visual signals. The final choice is made by the doctor during the diagnostic examination, based on ocular dominance and the patient's expectations.
The procedure on both eyes takes approximately 20 seconds per eye. It is performed as day surgery: the patient arrives, is operated on and goes home the same day. The first check-ups are scheduled on day 4–5 for therapeutic lens removal.
