Everything you want to know about life without reading glasses.

Answers to the most important questions: how presbyopia develops, when it starts, and how it can be treated.

Over the years, the eye’s natural lens loses its elasticity. It can no longer curve enough to focus up close – reading and close-up work become tiring. This is a completely normal ageing process, not a sign of disease.
Usually between the ages of 40 and 50. Typical first signs: you hold text further away, need more light to read, or your eyes tire more quickly during close-up work.
No. The loss of elasticity in the lens cannot be stopped – neither by eye exercises nor by diet. However, it can be corrected very effectively or resolved permanently.
Presbyopia increases slowly until around age 60–65 and then stabilises. During this period, reading glasses often need to be adjusted several times to the changing prescription.
Beyond glasses and contact lenses, there are permanent solutions: a lens exchange with a trifocal lens (or EDOF lens) or the PRESBYOND laser treatment. Which path suits you is determined at the free pre-examination in Copenhagen.

Step by step

Your path to everyday life without glasses

Pre-examination – EuroEyes Copenhagen
Step 01

Pre-examination

Every eye is unique and needs an individually tailored lens. All vision defects are analysed thoroughly – including with the support of artificial intelligence (AI). The personal consultation is just as important to us, so the treatment matches your expectations and your everyday life.

The treatment – EuroEyes Copenhagen
Step 02

The treatment

The treatment is fast and gentle – usually under 30 minutes for both eyes. The eyes are numbed with drops, the procedure is painless and performed under local anaesthesia. Which method is used – trifocal lens, EDOF or PRESBYOND – depends on your pre-examination and your wishes. You go home without a bandage and start with the eye drops straight away.

Aftercare – EuroEyes Copenhagen
Step 03

Aftercare

You leave the clinic without a bandage over your eyes and quickly return to your everyday life.

  • Fast recovery: usually back at work after 2–3 days.
  • Clear follow-up plan: check-ups the next day, after one week and after one month.
  • Round-the-clock reassurance: access to our emergency hotline and your nearest clinic at any time.

Our treatments for presbyopia

Three ways out of reading glasses.

All three procedures are developed specifically for presbyopia from age 45 – and are fully tailored to your eye and your lifestyle.

Lens exchange · permanent

Trifocal lenses

Sharp vision at every distance – entirely without glasses.

The trifocal lens is a premium artificial lens with multiple focal points. It replaces the eye’s natural lens and provides sharp vision at near, intermediate and far distances – usually entirely without glasses. At EuroEyes, the trifocal lenses used are predominantly developed together with ZEISS. Because the lens remains permanently in the eye and neither wears out nor clouds over, cataracts can no longer develop either. Existing short- or long-sightedness and astigmatism are corrected at the same time.

Outpatientapprox. 15 min per eyePainless (drop anaesthesia)For any prescription

Ideal for: the permanent solution that lasts a lifetime.

Lens exchange · extended depth of focus

EDOF lenses

Clear, high-contrast vision at far and intermediate distances – with extended depth of focus.

EDOF stands for “Extended Depth of Focus”. Unlike the trifocal lens with fixed focal points, it creates one continuous zone of sharpness and provides clear, high-contrast vision at far and intermediate distances – for example at the screen or behind the wheel. Because the lens scatters very little light, halos or glare at night occur less often – a good choice for frequent drivers and people with high visual demands. For reading up close, a pair of light reading glasses is usually still needed.

Outpatientapprox. 15 min per eyePainless (drop anaesthesia)Very little glare

Ideal for: screen work, driving and dusk with the highest visual comfort.

Laser treatment · instead of a lens exchange

PRESBYOND

Laser correction of presbyopia without a lens exchange – you keep your own lens.

PRESBYOND is a laser procedure (“Laser Blended Vision”) from ZEISS, developed by Professor Dan Reinstein of EuroEyes. It is suitable for people from around 40 to 50 years of age and works without a lens exchange: the cornea is individually shaped with a precise excimer laser, with each eye optimised separately for near and far. Through a personally calculated “blend zone”, the visual impressions merge at intermediate distance, so near, intermediate and far are perceived sharply. Existing short- or long-sightedness and astigmatism can be corrected at the same time – a good solution for active people who want to keep their own lens. Later on, reading glasses may become necessary for close-up work, while intermediate vision remains good.

OutpatientPainless (drop anaesthesia)Back at work in 1–2 daysSport after 2–4 weeks

Ideal for: active people who want to keep their own lens.

Considering SMILE? Clear answers to your most important questions.

Answers to the key questions: what short-sightedness is, who SMILE is suitable for, and how the treatment works.

In a short-sighted eye, the eyeball is slightly too long, so distant objects focus in front of the retina and appear blurred. Glasses, contact lenses or laser treatment shift the focus back onto the retina, so you see sharply at a distance.
Most adults with stable short-sightedness, with or without astigmatism. Because the surface layer remains intact, SMILE can often treat higher prescriptions and is frequently the preferred choice for people with thinner corneas or dry, more sensitive eyes. It is not suitable for severe long-sightedness. The free pre-examination confirms whether SMILE is right for you.
No. The eye is numbed with drops, and the gentle ZEISS VisuMax laser keeps the pressure in the eye low – most people feel almost nothing. A mild foreign-body sensation for a few hours afterwards is normal and subsides quickly.
SMILE offers the fastest recovery of all laser methods. The procedure itself takes minutes, and the eye’s surface typically heals within a few days. Because no corneal flap is created, there is no risk of flap displacement – so you return to an active life, including sport, more quickly.
You can explore the whole SMILE story – the technology, the science and the patient results – at euroeyes.dk. The free pre-examination in Copenhagen then confirms what is right for your eyes.

The treatment

The SMILE treatment is fast and gentle – usually around 10–15 minutes for both eyes. The eyes are numbed with drops, so it is painless.

We offer the full spectrum of modern laser eye surgery. Which method suits you depends on your eyes and your lifestyle – confirmed at the free pre-examination.

Keyhole laser · our speciality

SMILE

The most minimally invasive form of laser eye surgery. Co-invented by Prof. Dan Reinstein at the London Vision Clinic – part of the EuroEyes group – on the ZEISS VisuMax laser. SMILE corrects short-sightedness and astigmatism through a small keyhole opening, without a corneal flap and without removing the surface layer. Because more of the cornea is preserved, dry-eye symptoms are typically reduced, and recovery is the fastest of all laser methods. With no flap, there is no concern about flap displacement during sport – ideal for an active life. More than 1.5 million SMILE procedures have been performed worldwide.

OutpatientSeconds per eyeFlap-free & gentleFastest recovery

Ideal for: an active life – sport, travel and freedom from glasses.

Laser · established & precise

Femto-LASIK

A well-established laser method for short- and long-sightedness as well as astigmatism. A thin flap is created in the cornea, which is then shaped with a precise excimer laser so that light focuses correctly on the retina. Femto-LASIK offers very fast visual recovery – many see well as early as the next day – and is one of the world’s most widely performed vision correction procedures.

OutpatientA few minutes per eyePainless (drop anaesthesia)Very fast recovery

Ideal for: a proven laser choice with fast recovery.

Laser · surface treatment

PRK / LASEK

A surface laser method in which the outermost layer of the cornea is gently moved aside instead of creating a flap. The cornea is then shaped with a precise excimer laser. PRK/LASEK is a good option for thinner corneas or particular eye profiles where a flap-based method is less suitable. Recovery takes slightly longer than SMILE or LASIK, but the long-term results are excellent.

OutpatientPainless (drop anaesthesia)No corneal flapFor thinner corneas

Ideal for: thinner corneas or particular eye profiles.
