Everything you want to know about life without reading glasses.

Over the years, the natural lens of the eye loses elasticity. It can no longer curve enough to focus at close range – reading and close-up work become tiring. This is a completely normal ageing process, not a sign of illness.
Usually between the ages of 40 and 50. Typical first signs: you hold text further away, need more light to read, or your eyes tire more quickly during close-up work.
No. The loss of elasticity in the lens cannot be stopped – neither through eye exercises nor through diet. It can, however, be corrected very well or resolved permanently.
Presbyopia slowly increases until around the age of 60–65 and stabilises after that. During this phase, reading glasses often need to be adjusted several times to the changing prescription.
In addition to glasses and contact lenses, there are permanent solutions: a lens exchange with a trifocal lens or the laser treatment PRESBYOND. Which path suits you is determined by the free pre-examination in Geneva.

The process step by step

Your path to everyday life without glasses

Voruntersuchung – EuroEyes Hamburg
Step 01

Pre-examination

Every eye is unique and needs an individually matched lens. All visual defects are analysed thoroughly – including with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). The personal conversation is just as important to us, so that the treatment fits your expectations and your everyday life.

Operation – EuroEyes Hamburg
Step 02

Surgery

The treatment is fast and gentle – usually under 30 minutes for both eyes. The eyes are numbed with drops, the procedure is pain-free and performed under local anaesthetic. Which method is used – trifocal lens, EDOF or PRESBYOND – depends on your pre-examination and your wishes. You go home without a dressing and start the eye drops straight away.

Nachsorge – EuroEyes Hamburg
Step 03

Aftercare

You leave the clinic without a dressing over your eyes and quickly return to your everyday life.

  • Fast recovery: usually back to work after 2–3 days.
  • Clear check-up plan: follow-ups the next day, after one week and after one month.
  • 24/7 reassurance: access at any time to our emergency hotline and your nearest clinic.

Three ways out of reading glasses.

All three procedures are designed specifically for presbyopia from age 45 – and are fully tailored to your eye and your lifestyle.

Lens exchange · permanent

Trifocal lenses

Sharp vision at every distance – without glasses.

The trifocal lens is a premium artificial lens with multiple focal points. It replaces the natural lens of the eye and enables sharp vision at near, intermediate and far distances – usually entirely without glasses. At EuroEyes, the trifocal lenses used are predominantly developed together with ZEISS. Because the lens stays permanently in the eye and neither wears out nor clouds over, cataracts can no longer develop either. Existing short- or long-sightedness as well as astigmatism are corrected at the same time.

Outpatientapprox. 15 min per eyePain-free (drop anaesthetic)For any prescription

Ideal for: the permanent solution that stays stable for life.

Lens exchange · extended depth of focus

EDOF lenses

Clear, high-contrast vision at far and intermediate distance – with extended depth of focus.

EDOF stands for „Extended Depth of Focus“. Unlike the trifocal lens with fixed focal points, it creates one continuous zone of sharpness and enables clear, high-contrast vision in the distance and the intermediate range – for example at the screen or behind the wheel. Because the lens scatters light very little, halos or glare at night occur less often – a good choice for frequent drivers and people with high visual demands. For reading up close, a light pair of reading glasses is usually still needed.

Outpatientapprox. 15 min per eyePain-free (drop anaesthetic)Very little glare

Ideal for: screen work, driving and twilight with the highest visual comfort.

Laser treatment · instead of a lens exchange

PRESBYOND

Laser correction of presbyopia without a lens exchange – you keep your own lens.

PRESBYOND is a laser procedure („Laser Blended Vision“) from ZEISS, developed by Professor Dan Reinstein of EuroEyes. It is suitable for people from around 40 to 50 years of age and works without a lens exchange: the cornea is individually reshaped with a precise excimer laser, with each eye optimised separately for near and far. Through a personally calculated „blend zone“, the visual impressions merge in the intermediate range, so that near, middle and far distances are perceived sharply. Existing short- or long-sightedness and astigmatism can be corrected at the same time – a good solution for active people who want to do without visual aids. Later, reading glasses may become necessary for near vision, while intermediate distance remains good.

OutpatientPain-free (drop anaesthetic)Back to work in 1–2 daysSport after 2–4 weeks

Ideal for: active people who want to keep their own lens.

Thinking about SMILE? Clear answers to your top questions.

Get answers to the most important questions: what short-sightedness is, who SMILE is suitable for and how the treatment works.

In a short-sighted eye the eyeball is slightly too long, so distant objects focus in front of the retina and appear blurred. Glasses, contact lenses or laser vision correction move the focus back onto the retina for sharp distance vision.
Most adults with stable short-sightedness, with or without astigmatism. Because the surface layer is left intact, SMILE can often treat higher prescriptions, and it is frequently the preferred choice for people with thinner corneas or drier, more sensitive eyes. It is not suitable for severe long-sightedness. The free pre-examination confirms whether SMILE is right for you.
No. The eye is numbed with drops, and the gentle ZEISS VisuMax laser keeps pressure in the eye low – most people feel almost nothing. A mild foreign-body sensation for a few hours afterwards is normal and settles quickly.
SMILE offers the fastest recovery of any laser method. The procedure itself takes minutes and the surface of the eye is typically healed within a few days. Because there is no corneal flap, there is no flap-displacement risk – so you can return to an active life, including sport, sooner.
You can explore the full SMILE story – the technology, the science and patient results – on euroeyes.de. The free pre-examination in Geneva then confirms what is right for your eyes.

Step 02

Surgery

The SMILE treatment is fast and gentle – usually around 10–15 minutes for both eyes. The eyes are numbed with drops, so it is pain-free. A precise femtosecond laser shapes a thin lenticule, which is removed through a 2–4 mm keyhole opening. You go home without a dressing and start the eye drops straight away.

We offer the full range of modern laser eye surgery. Which method suits you depends on your eyes and your lifestyle – confirmed in the free pre-examination.

Keyhole laser · our specialty

SMILE

The most minimally invasive form of laser eye surgery. Co-invented by Prof. Dan Reinstein at London Vision Clinic – part of the EuroEyes group – on the ZEISS VisuMax laser, SMILE corrects short-sightedness and astigmatism through a small keyhole opening, with no corneal flap and no removal of the surface layer. Because more of the cornea is preserved, dry-eye symptoms are typically reduced and recovery is the fastest of all laser methods. With no flap, there is no concern about flap displacement during sport – ideal for an active life. More than 1.5 million SMILE procedures have been performed worldwide.

OutpatientSeconds per eyeFlapless & gentleFastest recovery

Ideal for: an active life – sport, travel and freedom from glasses.

Laser · established & precise

Femto-LASIK

A well-established laser method for short- and long-sightedness and astigmatism. A thin flap is created in the cornea, which is then reshaped with a precise excimer laser to focus light correctly onto the retina. Femto-LASIK offers very fast visual recovery – many people see well the next day – and is one of the most widely performed vision-correction procedures in the world.

Outpatienta few minutes per eyePain-free (drop anaesthetic)Very fast recovery

Ideal for: a proven, fast-recovery laser option.

Laser · surface treatment

PRK / LASEK

A surface laser method in which the outermost corneal layer is gently moved aside rather than a flap being created. The cornea is then reshaped with a precise excimer laser. PRK/LASEK is a good option for thinner corneas or specific eye profiles where a flap-based method is less suitable. Recovery takes a little longer than SMILE or LASIK, but the long-term results are excellent.

Ideal for: thinner corneas or specific eye profiles.
