AI Article Synopsis

  • Presbyopia affects over a billion people globally, leading to a study of 288 eyes from 144 patients treated with LBV PRESBYOND for myopic presbyopia with astigmatism.
  • The study found high efficacy, with 99% of distance-eyes achieving excellent uncorrected distance visual acuity, and 85% of near-eyes showing significant improvement; safety was affirmed with no patients losing significant visual acuity post-treatment.
  • Overall, LBV PRESBYOND is effective, safe, and well-tolerated, promoting good visual outcomes and potential independence from glasses, while also emphasizing the need for tailored treatments based on age and individual patient needs.

Article Abstract

Presbyopia, a common age-related refractive error, affects over a billion people globally and significantly impacts daily life. This retrospective study analyzed 288 eyes of 144 patients undergoing LBV PRESBYOND treatment for myopic presbyopia with astigmatism, aiming to evaluate precision, efficacy, safety, and stability over six months. Key findings include high efficacy, with 99% of distance-eyes achieving uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 20/25 or better, and 85% of near-eyes achieving UDVA of 20/32 or better. The results show excellent refractive outcomes, with 99% of long-sighted eyes and 97% of near-sighted eyes having a postoperative spherical equivalent within ±1.00 D. Safety was demonstrated by no loss of two or more Snellen lines after treatment, with 94% of patients maintaining corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) before and after surgery. Overall, LBV PRESBYOND proved effective, safe, and well tolerated for myopic presbyopia correction, offering satisfactory visual outcomes and potential spectacle independence for various distances. This study underscores the importance of individualized treatment based on patient age, highlighting the positive impact of binocular summation on visual function. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting LBV PRESBYOND as a viable option for addressing presbyopic myopia, offering insights into its efficacy and safety profile. Further research could explore postoperative stereopsis and long-term outcomes to enhance understanding and refine treatment protocols.

We investigated the effects of Laser Blended Vision (LBV) on binocular summation and stereopsis in the treatment of presbyopia and hyperopia. Using a unidirectional, retrospective longitudinal design, data from 318 patients who underwent the Zeiss PresbyOND LBV surgical procedure at Tecnolaser Clinic Vision Ophthalmology Center in Seville, Spain, were analyzed. The findings indicate that stereopsis quality significantly influenced short-term post-operative visual outcomes in measures like Uncorrected Distance and Near Visual Acuity (UDVA and UNVA).

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the outcomes of PRESBYOND laser-blended vision treatment for presbyopia one year after surgery.
  • It involved 20 patients and evaluated their visual acuity, subjective refraction, and optical quality, with patients reporting satisfaction levels after follow-up.
  • Results showed significant improvement in both distance and near visual acuity for most patients, with minor issues related to night vision reported, suggesting that while effective, further research on optical quality is needed.

Purpose: To report the functional outcomes and reading speeds following PRESBYOND laser blended vision (LBV) using nonlinear aspheric ablation profiles with micro-monovision with the Carl Zeiss Meditec MEL 90 platform.

Methods: Data have been collected retrospectively for all patients who underwent PRESBYOND LBV using the MEL 90 excimer laser. Postoperative binocular uncorrected distance and near visual acuity, stereo-acuity, contrast sensitivity, and reading performance were compared with pre-op values measured with patient's progressive glasses.
