Studying PRESBYOND LASIK for age-related vision changes
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a new LASIK technique called PRESBYOND to improve vision at all distances in people with presbyopia (age-related need for reading glasses). It uses the MEL90 excimer laser to reshape the cornea.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 65 years old
- You are planning to have LASIK on both eyes with the PRESBYOND method
- Your best corrected vision (with glasses or contacts) is at least 20/20 in each eye
- You have a normal-shaped cornea (the clear front part of your eye) in each eye
- You have not worn hard contact lenses for at least 1 month, or soft contacts for at least 1 week, before your eye exam

This trial tests a new treatment called the VIS Opti-K™ System to help people with presbyopia (age-related trouble seeing up close) see better without glasses. It uses a special lens to improve near vision in one eye while keeping distance vision clear.
This trial tests a new light-based treatment to help aging eyes focus better on close objects, which could reduce the need for reading glasses.
This study compares two laser eye surgery approaches for people over 40 who need reading glasses. Both methods use LASIK to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses, but they work differently—one eye may be set for distance and one for close-up (monovision), or both eyes may be adjusted for mixed vision (blended vision).
This study compares two types of glasses (single-vision vs. progressive lenses) to see which one helps people with aging-related reading difficulty (presbyopia) see better and feel better in daily life. You may qualify if you are 40–70 and have trouble reading up close but haven't used reading glasses recently.
This study tests a new light-based treatment (crosslinking) to help aging eyes focus up close again without needing reading glasses. It may be a good option if you are 40–65, your prescription is moderate, and your eyes are generally healthy.
This study tests a new device called Opti-K that helps people see better up close without needing reading glasses. It may be an option if you are over 40, have had cataract surgery or no significant cataracts, and rely on reading glasses for near tasks.
