Presbyond laser blended vision LASIK may be good choice for presbyopic pilots

A study conducted in the United Kingdom found “excellent” outcomes for Presbyond laser blended vision LASIK in pilots requiring Class 1 certification.
All pilots achieved the vision criteria for aeromedical recertification by 8 weeks after treatment.
Presbyond laser blended vision LASIK (Carl Zeiss Meditec) increases the depth of field and corrects presbyopia by inducing micro-anisometropia and a controlled amount of spherical aberration. The low level of induced anisometropia is well tolerated, and stereoacuity is maintained.
“Presbyopia is increasingly becoming a prominent
