PresbyMAX is specifically designed for eyes where presbyopia has begun, making it suitable once near tasks start to require glasses.
Ideal timing after onset
Symptoms should be more than minimal.
- Noticeable difficulty reading small print or phone screens at normal distance
- Regular use of off‑the‑shelf readers or varifocals
- Stable distance prescription
- Healthy corneas and clear lenses on examination
- Desire to reduce dependence on near correction rather than simply cope with it
When it may be premature
Early presbyopia does not always need surgery.
- Very mild near changes manageable with occasional low‑power readers
- Uncertain or fluctuating distance prescription
- People not yet bothered enough to justify permanent corneal reshaping
- Those still exploring simpler non‑surgical options
- Re‑evaluation can be done later if presbyopia becomes more troublesome
