Presbyopia: clear lens surgery in Geneva

A tailored implant replaces your natural lens for sharp vision near and far, without reading glasses.

Clear vision, every day

Less blur, less strain, fewer glasses.

Patient reading without glasses after clear lens surgery

Reading, night driving, glare: presbyopia makes simple tasks harder. After surgery, vision becomes clear and stable again.

Less reliance on glasses, less worry about your eyesight. It’s not only about seeing better, it’s about feeling freer.

The clock, your phone, the paper: everything is clear as soon as you open your eyes. Your days become simpler.

Reading small print, driving, exploring new places: you regain your independence and the joy of going out.

Clear lens surgery: your questions

What to know before your procedure.

Clear lens surgery consultation in Geneva

Mainly people aged 50 and over with presbyopia or early cataract, whose eyes and general health are good.

A full examination (cornea, lens, retina) confirms your eligibility.

The natural lens is replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL) chosen for your needs, through a micro-incision in the cornea.

About 20 minutes per eye, under local anaesthesia and painless.

Pros: sharp vision at every distance, correction of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, and no cataract ever.

Cons: halos may appear at night, and the procedure is permanent, so choosing the right implant is essential.

The procedure is safe, but rare complications exist: infection, inflammation, raised eye pressure or retinal detachment.

An experienced surgeon and a thorough pre-operative assessment greatly reduce them.

Monofocal for distance vision, multifocal for near and far, or extended depth of focus for continuous vision. Your surgeon recommends the best fit.

Eye examination, then surgery under numbing drops with no stitches. Both eyes are treated a few days apart.

Drops and check-ups follow; full recovery takes a few weeks.

Most patients read, work and drive without glasses. Results last: the implant doesn’t age.

Glasses may still help for very small print or in low light.
