Life is full of choices.

ZEISS is a long-term partner for refractive clinics, combining almost 40 years of innovation in laser vision correction with one of the broadest portfolios on the market. The ZEISS portfolio enables you to treat all relevant age groups and a wide range of indications with confidence. Technologies such as ZEISS VISUMAX^® femtosecond lasers, the ZEISS MEL^® 90 excimer laser, and pioneering solutions like ZEISS SMILE^®, ZEISS SMILE^® pro and ZEISS PRESBYOND^® are engineered in Jena, Germany, to deliver precision, efficiency and excellent visual outcomes. Beyond technology, ZEISS supports you, your patients and your practice at every stage with clinical and technical support, training and access to an international community of experts.

ZEISS offers a comprehensive refractive portfolio that includes the ZEISS VISUMAX^® femtosecond laser platform for ZEISS SMILE^® and ZEISS SMILE^® pro, the ZEISS VISUMAX 800 for ZEISS SMILE^® pro with even faster laser times and an extended treatment range, and the ZEISS MEL^® 90 excimer laser as a proven LASIK platform and delivery system for ZEISS PRESBYOND^®. ZEISS SMILE^® and ZEISS SMILE^® pro provide a minimally invasive lenticule extraction technique for myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, while ZEISS PRESBYOND^® is a LASIK-based, corneal laser solution specifically developed for presbyopic patients without cataract. Together, these systems allow you to address a wide spectrum of refractive needs with a single, trusted partner.

ZEISS SMILE^® and ZEISS SMILE^® pro are next-generation laser vision correction procedures that use a minimally invasive lenticule extraction technique instead of creating a corneal flap. During the procedure, the laser creates a tiny, lens-shaped piece of tissue (lenticule) inside the cornea, which is then removed through a small incision. This tissue-saving approach helps preserve corneal stability, reduce the risk of dry eyes, and support fast visual recovery with high patient comfort. ZEISS SMILE^® pro, performed with the ZEISS VISUMAX 800, builds on the proven ZEISS SMILE^® concept with even faster laser times and an extended treatment range, making it the first lenticule extraction solution to treat hyperopia, myopia and astigmatism, including hyperopic corrections up to +7D. For patients, ZEISS SMILE^® and ZEISS SMILE^® pro offer a modern, comfortable and efficient vision correction option, while clinics benefit from a powerful way to differentiate their services and increase efficiency.

PRESBYOND^® from ZEISS is a LASIK-based, corneal laser solution specifically developed for presbyopic patients without cataract, typically from around 40 years of age. Delivered on the ZEISS MEL 90 excimer laser, ZEISS PRESBYOND^® is designed to reduce or eliminate lifelong dependence on reading glasses, varifocals or contact lenses by restoring a functional range of vision from near through intermediate to distance. By offering a highly personalized, corneal-based presbyopia treatment with high patient acceptance and reported satisfaction rates of up to 97% in treated presbyopes, ZEISS PRESBYOND^® represents a compelling addition to the refractive portfolio. It enables ophthalmologists to address the rapidly growing presbyopic patient segment with a precise, reversible solution that fits seamlessly into an established LASIK workflow.

ZEISS PRESBYOND^® differs from classic monovision by using a customized, binocular approach that preserves and enhances vision across all distances. Traditional monovision typically creates two distinct focal points by correcting one eye for near and the other for distance, which often compromises intermediate vision and can lead to reduced binocular performance. In contrast, ZEISS PRESBYOND^® applies a customized ablation profile that uses naturally occurring spherical aberrations to increase the depth of focus in each eye. One eye is optimized for distance with good intermediate and acceptable near vision, while the fellow eye is optimized for near with good intermediate and functional distance vision. This creates a “Blend Zone” in the intermediate range where both eyes contribute, enabling true binocular, synergistic vision from near through intermediate to distance and resulting in a highly personalized treatment with high patient acceptance.

Beyond providing advanced laser systems, ZEISS acts as a comprehensive partner for clinics and surgeons. You gain access to dedicated clinical and technical support to help you integrate and optimize ZEISS platforms such as VISUMAX^®, VISUMAX 800, MEL^® 90, SMILE^®, SMILE^® pro and PRESBYOND^® from ZEISS. ZEISS also offers access to an international community of experts, training opportunities and peer-to-peer exchange, enabling you to learn from successful refractive clinics worldwide. Examples include practices like Dr. Gabriel Castro’s premium clinic in São Paulo, Brazil, which is dedicated to precision, consistency and exceptional patient care, and Dr. Silvia Hernández’s clinic in Mexico, where refractive surgery powered by ZEISS SMILE^® and ZEISS PRESBYOND^® grew from a small part of her work to about 60% of her surgical practice. This holistic support helps you expand your treatment options, enhance outcomes and consistently deliver a premium patient experience.

ZEISS laser vision correction solutions are designed to support both clinical excellence and sustainable practice growth. With a broad portfolio that includes SMILE^®, SMILE^® pro, PRESBYOND^®, VISUMAX^® and MEL^® 90 from ZEISS, you can treat all relevant age groups and a wide range of indications, from myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism to presbyopia in patients without cataract. Offering modern, tissue-saving and patient-centric solutions such as ZEISS SMILE^®/SMILE^® pro and ZEISS PRESBYOND^® helps position your clinic as a premium, innovation-driven provider focused on precision, consistency and comfort. Documented high satisfaction rates and strong visual outcomes can increase patient referrals and enhance your reputation, while the clinical, technical and educational support from ZEISS helps ensure efficient implementation and confident day-to-day use. Together, these factors enable you to differentiate your practice, attract more patients and build a successful refractive clinic with a trusted global partner.
