Multifocal LASIK is the primary procedure we use for freedom from glasses for people age 48 and over. Multifocal LASIK is an advance over monovsion. The purpose of monovision is to provide visual clarity at long distance and at a single distance up close. The effect of monovsion is useful but expires with age. Multifocal LASIK provides a broader range of focus. As with monovision, the dominant eye is set for distance. But with multifocal LASIK, the non-dominant eye is made bifocal by a process called presbyLASIK. For people who do not have cataracts it is a reasonable, less invasive, and less expensive alternative to multifocal lens implants for the purpose of getting rid of bifocals. Published data show that over 90% of multifocal lasik patients at an average age of 53 years old became completely free of the need for any glasses The effect is adjustable and reversable if needed. . Results have been long lasting and we have been performing the procedure since 2003. People who already had cataract surgery and now want to be free of glasses may consider multifocal LASIK.
