Presbyopia Correction

Lens correction for near, intermediate and far vision — so you can read, work and live without constantly reaching for reading glasses.

Life Without Reading Glasses

Presbyopia is the natural, age-related loss of near focus. With multifocal and extended-range lenses, EYEONCE corrects vision across all distances — from your phone screen to the road ahead.

Presbyopia is the natural, age-related stiffening of the eye's lens — usually starting in the early-to-mid 40s — that gradually reduces near-focusing power, making reading, phone screens and other close-up tasks harder even for people who never needed glasses before.

Every EYEONCE presbyopia plan is led by Dr. Baek Dong-won, whose clinical background spans cataract and refractive surgery residency and fellowship training as Representative Director.

Common symptoms go beyond blurry text: focusing becomes slow, reading causes eye fatigue or headaches, and symptoms typically worsen in dim light.

Many patients move from reading glasses to lens-based surgery once glasses become a daily hassle. Every plan starts with the same three lens families: monofocal for one clear distance, multifocal for near-and-far freedom, or toric where astigmatism also needs correcting.

EYEONCE offers a full range of trifocal and extended-range intraocular lenses — Alcon's Vivity and Clareon PanOptix, PhysIOL's FineVision and FineVision HP, and Johnson & Johnson's Symbiose, Synergy and Lisa tri.

Toric versions of PanOptix, FineVision, Symbiose and Synergy add astigmatism correction alongside multifocal vision for patients who need both.

Choosing the right lens comes down to daily life: how much near, intermediate and distance vision you actually need, whether astigmatism is present, and your tolerance for night glare.

PanOptix and FineVision trifocal IOLs are backed by real scale — implanted in over 8 million eyes across 80+ countries over 15+ years, with CE, FDA and ISO clearances.

Recovery follows a clear plan: pre-existing conditions like diabetes or hypertension are reviewed in advance, strenuous exercise is avoided for a month, and an eye shield is worn during sleep for the first week.

Every plan follows the same steps: eye exam, lifestyle review, lens selection, surgery and follow-up.

This answers the questions patients ask most: whether lens-based correction lasts long-term, how lens choice is decided, and whether astigmatism can be corrected at the same time. International patients get the same on-site interpretation and WhatsApp follow-up as every other EYEONCE procedure.

Good to Know

Presbyopia — questions & answers

Yes. EYEONCE is a Seoul-government-registered clinic for international patients, with in-house interpreters on-site in English, Chinese, Mongolian and Thai. From your first WhatsApp message through surgery and follow-up, there is no language barrier.
For laser vision correction (SMILE PRO, SMILE LASIK, LASIK/LASEK) a stay of about 3-5 days is typical — exam and surgery can often be done the same day, with a next-day check-up before you fly home. For ICL and lens procedures we usually recommend 5-7 days. Send us your travel dates on WhatsApp and we will build the schedule around you.
In the rare case an enhancement is needed, it is covered by our lifetime aftercare. Please contact us on WhatsApp first (+82-10-6308-0984) — we will review a detailed re-examination and, where appropriate, arrange the re-treatment. Reaching out on WhatsApp is the fastest way to get guided next steps.
Yes — in many patients a premium multifocal IOL corrects presbyopia and removes a cataract in the same procedure, restoring full-range vision at once. Your diagnostic assessment determines the best approach for your eyes.
No — the procedure is performed under topical anesthetic drops, so you feel gentle pressure rather than pain. It follows the same comfortable, outpatient approach as cataract surgery, with no stitches and no overnight stay.
Cost depends on the lens family you choose — monofocal, multifocal, EDOF or toric multifocal — and whether one or both eyes are treated. Message us on WhatsApp with your prescription and lifestyle needs for a personalized quote.
Vision typically improves within a day or two, and your brain adapts to the new full-range lens over the following weeks. Some glare or halos at night can occur early and usually settle during the first 1–3 months.
Don't rub your eyes; avoid swimming, saunas and steam rooms for about a month, and eye makeup for two weeks. Keep water and soap out of the eye, attend your follow-up checks, and use all prescribed eye drops exactly as directed.
Bring your glasses and any prescription or medical records and note any medications or eye conditions. If you wear contact lenses, stop soft lenses for 5–7 days before your exam (2–3 weeks for hard / RGP lenses), and arrange transport or a companion for surgery day.
Temporary blurriness or glare is normal as your eyes adapt to a multifocal lens — this neural adaptation can take a little time. Use your prescribed drops diligently. If you feel a foreign-body sensation or pain, visit us right away, or see a local ophthalmologist first and then contact us.
Yes. If anything ever seems wrong after surgery, contact us at any time. Through a detailed re-examination we'll assess your condition and guide the appropriate next steps.
A Real Story

"Reading glasses were taking over my life. Not anymore."

At 52, I reached for reading glasses constantly. A premium full-range lens gave me back near, middle and far in one procedure. Now I read my phone, work at my laptop and drive — all without glasses. I only wish I had done it sooner.
