Vision after PRESBYOND typically feels usable very quickly, but full stabilisation, especially for near work, can take several weeks to a few months. This reflects both corneal healing and neuroadaptation.
Early Phase
Initial clarity comes quickly for many patients.
- Distance vision is often good within days, though it may fluctuate slightly with dryness or fatigue.
- Near and intermediate tasks can vary from day to day in the first few weeks.
- Lubricating drops help reduce temporary blur from a dry ocular surface.
- Early follow‑ups check that refraction and corneal shape are on track.
Longer-Term Stability
Subtle refinement continues as the brain adjusts.
- Most people feel their vision is broadly stable by 4-12 weeks, with further small improvements possible beyond this.
- Complex prescriptions or higher demands on near vision may need a longer adaptation window.
- Persistent imbalance between eyes, ghosting, or troublesome halos should be reviewed.
- Annual eye examinations remain important even once vision feels settled.
