Who are PRELEX & FemtoPRELEX for?

  • PRELEX & FemtoPRELEX are ideal for people aged 40 and over who experience age-related vision loss, also known as presbyopia.
  • If you're starting to rely on glasses for both near and far vision, and want a long-term solution, these procedures can help.
  • In the past, only multifocal glasses offered help—but today, you can achieve sharp vision with a simple, painless procedure.
  • You must be free from major eye diseases and have healthy ocular structure to be eligible.

  • PRELEX (Presbyopic Lens Exchange) and FemtoPRELEX are modern procedures that replace your eye’s natural lens with a multifocal intraocular lens.
  • PRELEX is performed entirely by a surgeon using phacoemulsification.
  • In FemtoPRELEX, parts of the surgery, like the incision and lens fragmentation, are done by a femtosecond laser (CATALYS), making it even more precise.
  • Both methods restore your ability to see clearly at multiple distances, without needing glasses.

  • The main benefit of PRELEX & FemtoPRELEX is complete independence from glasses for near and far vision.
  • The procedures are quick, safe, and pain-free, and recovery is fast.
  • FemtoPRELEX offers added precision through laser assistance.
  • A disadvantage is that this is a permanent procedure, and unlike LASIK, it cannot be reversed.
  • Reading in very low light may still require assistance for some.

  • As with all eye surgeries, PRELEX & FemtoPRELEX carry some risks.
  • These include temporary glare, dry eyes, or difficulty with night vision.
  • In rare cases, complications such as infection, inflammation, or lens misalignment may occur. Choosing an experienced surgeon and clinic helps minimise these risks.
  • Most patients, however, experience successful outcomes and significant improvement in quality of life.

If PRELEX or FemtoPRELEX isn’t suitable, Allotex may be an alternative. It’s a non-permanent, minimally invasive corneal implant used to correct near vision. It’s ideal for patients who are not yet ready for lens exchange but want relief from reading glasses.

  1. A full pre-operative eye exam determines suitability and customises your treatment.
  2. On the day of the procedure, local anaesthetic drops are applied, no needles or general anaesthesia.
  3. A 2mm laser-created incision is made in the cornea, and the natural lens is gently broken into smaller pieces using femtosecond laser (FemtoPRELEX) or phacoemulsification (PRELEX).
  4. A soft, foldable multifocal intraocular lens is implanted into the eye.
  5. Most patients can see clearly within minutes and return to everyday life the next day, without glasses.

  • Patients who undergo PRELEX or FemtoPRELEX often experience sharp, glasses-free vision at all distances.
  • Many report better vision than they had in their 30s. Recovery is quick, and most people return to normal activities the next day.
  • These procedures not only solve near vision problems but also prevent future cataracts.
  • Patient satisfaction is very high, especially for those looking for a long-term solution to age-related vision decline.

Als ich anfing zu blinzeln, sagte ich mir, es liegt wohl am Blutdruck. ???? Als ich aufhörte, Gegenstände zu sehen, sagte ich mir: Es liegt wohl am Alter. ???? Aber als ich die Welt um mich herum nicht mehr sehen konnte, war ich traurig. Ich bin glücklich, dass ich die Welt so sehen kann, wie sie wirklich ist – ob gut oder schlecht. Besuchen Sie einfach VESELY | Augenklinik, so wie ich, und die Welt wird viel fröhlicher! ???? Danke, und ich bereue nichts! :))))

Ich war mit dem gesamten Ablauf – einschließlich der präoperativen Beratung, Untersuchungen, dem eigentlichen Eingriff und der Nachsorge – äußerst und, ich muss sagen, über die Erwartungen hinaus zufrieden. Der Eingriff verlief genau wie erwartet – völlig schmerzfrei und innerhalb weniger Sekunden abgeschlossen.
