Dive into how supracor redefines your need for reading glasses

Supracor suitability criteria

When considering Supracor, or PresbyLASIK, it's vital to know who it's suitable for. This procedure aims to correct presbyopia, a condition often affecting those over 40, causing difficulty in seeing close objects clearly. Suitable candidates should have stable vision, meaning no significant changes in their prescription for at least a year. They shouldn't have severe myopia or hyperopia and must be free from eye diseases like keratoconus or severe dry eye syndrome. A thorough eye examination by a specialist is crucial to assess corneal thickness and overall eye health, ensuring the procedure's safety and effectiveness.

Supracor, also known as PresbyLASIK, works by reshaping the cornea using a laser, tailored to address presbyopia. The laser creates different zones on the cornea: one for seeing clearly at distance, another for intermediate vision, and a third for close-up tasks. This multi-focal approach helps the eye focus on objects at various distances, reducing reliance on reading glasses. It's a precise and personalised technique, offering a balanced vision across different ranges, enhancing everyday visual tasks.

Advantages of Supracor (PresbyLASIK):

  • Reduces dependence on reading glasses.
  • Improves vision at multiple distances, offering a more versatile range of vision.
  • Quick procedure with a relatively short recovery period, facilitating a swift return to daily activities.
  • Enhances overall quality of life by broadening visual capabilities.

Disadvantages of Supracor (PresbyLASIK):

  • May not be suitable for individuals with severe myopia or certain other eye conditions.
  • Some patients could experience halos or glare in low-light conditions post-procedure.
  • Carries a risk of complications, as is common with surgical procedures, underscoring the need for comprehensive pre-operative evaluation.

Si le Supracor offre de nombreux avantages, il comporte également des risques potentiels, comme toute intervention chirurgicale. Ces risques comprennent la possibilité d’éblouissement ou de halos autour des lumières la nuit, ce qui peut nuire à la conduite nocturne. Il existe également un risque de sous-correction ou de sur-correction, ce qui signifie qu’un traitement supplémentaire peut être nécessaire. Les symptômes de sécheresse oculaire peuvent s’intensifier après l’intervention. Dans de rares cas, il peut y avoir une perte de vision qui ne peut être corrigée par des lunettes ou des lentilles de contact. Il est essentiel de discuter de ces risques avec un spécialiste.

Alternatives to Supracor (PresbyLASIK) include multifocal intraocular lens implants, used primarily in cataract surgery but also for presbyopia.

Contact lenses designed for presbyopia, like bifocal or multifocal lenses, offer non-surgical options.

Supracor involves several key steps.

Initially, a detailed eye examination is conducted to ensure suitability.

On the day, anaesthetic drops numb the eye, ensuring comfort.

The surgeon then uses a laser to precisely reshape the cornea, creating zones for improved near, intermediate, and distance vision.

The process is quick, usually taking about 15 minutes for both eyes.

Post-surgery, patients may experience mild discomfort as the eyes heal, with follow-up appointments to monitor progress.

Supracor typically delivers notable improvements in vision across different distances, significantly reducing dependence on reading glasses.

Many patients experience enhanced near, intermediate, and distance vision, enjoying greater visual freedom in daily activities.

Results can vary, with optimal outcomes emerging a few weeks post-surgery as the eyes adjust.

Regular follow-ups ensure progress is monitored, with the majority achieving their desired vision clarity, enriching their quality of life and broadening their visual experiences.
