Is PresbyMAX surgery suitable for athletes?

PresbyMAX can be suitable for athletes, particularly those wanting freedom from multifocal glasses or contact lenses during sport.

Advantages for active people

Unaided vision across distances helps performance.

  • Improved distance and intermediate vision without spectacles
  • Less worry about glasses fogging, slipping, or breaking
  • Freedom from contact‑lens dryness or loss during intense activity
  • Compatibility with helmets, goggles, and headgear
  • Convenience in outdoor and water sports

Planning around training

Recovery must fit the athletic schedule.

  • Temporary reduction in training intensity while the cornea heals
  • Avoidance of dusty, high‑impact, or swimming environments initially
  • Use of protective eyewear when returning to sport
  • Realistic discussion about night‑time glare in sports played under floodlights
  • Scheduling surgery away from key competitions or events
