Is PresbyMAX surgery suitable if you are between 40-55 years old?

< 1 min read

The 40-55 age range is often ideal for PresbyMAX, provided eyes are otherwise healthy and prescriptions are stable.

Why this age band works well

Presbyopia is established but lenses are usually clear.

  • Near‑vision difficulties are noticeable enough to justify treatment
  • Most patients still have minimal or no cataract
  • Cataract surgery is unlikely to be needed in the immediate future
  • Corneas generally remain suitable for laser when screened properly
  • Long period of potential benefit before lens‑related changes dominate

Checks still required

Age alone is not enough.

  • Full assessment of corneal thickness and topography
  • Evaluation of lens clarity and retinal health
  • Confirmation of prescription stability
  • Discussion of work, lifestyle, and visual priorities
  • Comparison with alternative presbyopia solutions where appropriate
