Rediscover Clear Reading Vision Without Reading Glasses
Laser Blended Vision in Queensland
Laser Blended Vision is a revolutionary treatment that addresses the age-related decline in near vision, commonly known as presbyopia.
This innovative procedure uses advanced laser technology to improve both near and distance vision, reducing or eliminating the need for reading glasses or bifocals.
How does Laser Blended Vision work?
Traditional LASIK only corrects the vision for distance. Once people reach their mid 40’s reading becomes difficult due to weakening of the eye’s power to change focus from distance to reading – this is known as presbyopia.
Often this means people start to need reading glasses or graduated glasses. These can be frustrating and many people report feeling older or less confident.
Laser blended vision is a fantastic solution for this. Everyone has a dominant eye like they have a dominant hand. This eye is set for focus at good distance vision while the other eye is set for a closer focus to allow reading without glasses. A feature of the eyes called spherical aberration can be used to stretch the focus so the focus in each eye blends together to give a natural feeling range of vision.
It may sound strange to have the eyes set differently, but for most people it is a very natural feeling. It is possible to try the effect first and it can be simulated with contact lenses. This can be done with your local optometrist before you see us or by our friendly team at Focus Vision.
Advantages of Laser Blended Vision
Laser Blended Vision offers several advantages over traditional methods of vision correction:
-
LASIK over 45
Traditional LASIK only corrects distance vision, meaning patients over 45 need glasses to read.
-
Restored Near Vision
Enjoy the freedom and convenience of clear vision at all distances, without the hassle of constantly switching between glasses.
-
Natural Vision
Unlike lens exchange surgery, which replaces the natural lens with an artificial lens, Laser Blended Vision provides a more natural, clearer visual experience with less haloes and night time issues.
-
Minimal Downtime
Most patients are driving the next day and only take one or two days off work.

Our corneal specialists are leaders in the field of presbyopic laser correction and use the latest technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient.
Are You a Candidate for Laser Blended Vision?
Laser Blended Vision is ideal for individuals over 40 who are experiencing difficulty with near vision due to presbyopia. Candidates for Laser Blended Vision should:
Have good overall eye health
Have a stable glasses prescription for at least one year
Be motivated to reduce or eliminate their dependence on reading glasses or bifocals
Be free from other eye conditions such as cataract. Once cataract is present they are better suited to premium cataract surgery with mulitifocal lens implantation.
The Laser Procedure
The Laser Blended Vision procedure is a quick and painless procedure that typically takes less than 10 minutes per eye. The procedure is extremely similar to LASIK in terms of the experience, risks and benefits. A laser is used to reshape the cornea, improving both near and distance vision. Most patients experience improved vision immediately after the procedure, with minimal downtime.

The cost of Laser Blended Vision can vary depending on individual factors such as the complexity of the procedure and the technology used. Our practice offers transparent pricing and flexible financing options to make Laser Blended Vision accessible to as many patients as possible. During your consultation, we will provide you with a detailed cost estimate based on your specific needs.
