Freedom From Reading Glasses at Every Distance
Blended Vision laser eye surgery reshapes each eye for a unique role, one for distance, one for near, creating seamless sight across all ranges. It’s a life-changing solution for patients with age-related presbyopia.
What Is Blended Vision (Monovision) Laser Surgery?
Blended Vision is a laser correction technique for presbyopia, the age-related decline in near vision. It subtly adjusts the focus of each eye: one is optimised for distance, while the other is fine-tuned for near tasks. Unlike traditional monovision, Blended Vision enhances the depth of field in both eyes, allowing the brain to merge the two images for a full range of focus—near, intermediate, and far.
This treatment can be performed using LASIK or TransPRK, depending on your eye surface and corneal thickness. Our specialists will recommend the best method during your in-depth consultation.

Ineligible for Laser? Consider ICL Surgery
Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICLs) are an advanced alternative for patients who aren’t suitable for laser procedures due to high prescriptions or thin corneas. ICLs are soft, biocompatible lenses placed between the iris and your natural lens, correcting vision without reshaping the cornea. This minimally invasive, reversible treatment offers crisp, high-definition vision and is especially effective for high myopia—even up to -20 diopters. With fast recovery and long-term comfort, ICL surgery is a powerful option for those seeking safe, lasting results.
