PRELEX (Presbyopia Correction) in Mumbai & Navi Mumbai
Advanced PRELEX Treatment at Laxmi Eye Hospital
PRELEX (Presbyopic Lens Exchange) is an advanced vision correction procedure designed to help people with presbyopia regain clear vision for both near and distance activities. It involves replacing the eye's natural lens with a premium intraocular lens (IOL) that can reduce dependence on reading glasses.
At Laxmi Eye Hospital, our ophthalmologists perform detailed eye evaluations to determine whether PRELEX is the right option based on age, vision needs, and overall eye health.
For adults experiencing age-related difficulty reading small print or shifting focus between near and distant objects, PRELEX offers a long-term vision correction solution.
What Is Presbyopia?
Presbyopia is a natural age-related condition that usually begins after the age of 40. As the eye's natural lens becomes less flexible, it becomes difficult to focus on nearby objects, making reading and close-up tasks more challenging.
Common signs include:
Difficulty reading small print.
Holding books or phones farther away.
Eye strain during close work.
Frequent need for brighter lighting.
Headaches after reading.
Unlike temporary eye fatigue, presbyopia gradually progresses with age and often requires vision correction.
Symptoms of Presbyopia
People with presbyopia may notice changes in their vision during everyday activities.
Blurred near vision.
Difficulty reading menus or messages.
Needing to hold reading material farther away.
Eye fatigue after close work.
Frequent switching between glasses for different distances.
A comprehensive eye examination helps confirm whether these symptoms are caused by presbyopia or another eye condition.
Who Can Benefit from PRELEX?
PRELEX may be suitable for adults with presbyopia who want greater freedom from reading glasses and meet the eligibility criteria after an eye examination.
Suitable candidates may include:
Adults over 40 with presbyopia.
People using reading glasses regularly.
Individuals with stable vision.
Patients seeking long-term vision correction.
People without significant untreated eye disease.
A personalised consultation helps determine whether PRELEX is the most appropriate treatment for your vision goals.
How PRELEX (Presbyopia Correction) Works
