PresbyMAX offers a long‑lasting corneal reshaping, which is effectively permanent, although natural ageing changes will still occur.
What “permanent” means here
The cornea is reshaped for the long term.
- Laser permanently alters corneal curvature to create a multifocal profile
- Effects are designed to last for many years without ongoing maintenance
- Future presbyopic progression and cataract formation can still change vision
- Further surgery may be needed if cataracts develop later
- Decision should treat PresbyMAX as a lasting change, not a trial
Who it suits best
Some people value durability over reversibility.
- Presbyopes happy with the idea of permanent corneal reshaping
- Stable prescription and clear lenses
- Understanding that occasional glasses may still be needed for specific tasks
- Comfort with the fact that later lens surgery may partially alter results
- Preference for a one‑time corneal solution rather than ongoing lens wear
