PRESBYOND is commonly used for people with myopia and presbyopia who wish to reduce dependence on both distance and reading glasses.
Suitable myopic‑presbyopic candidates
Several conditions must be met.
- Low to moderate myopia within safe laser limits
- Stable prescription and regular corneal topography
- Clear lenses and healthy macula
- Motivation to accept blended‑vision optics for broader focus range
- Good tolerance of a monovision or blended‑vision contact lens trial
When other options may be better
Higher myopes often need lens‑based solutions.
- Very high myopia or thin corneas limiting safe ablation
- Early cataracts where refractive lens exchange can address both issues
- Preference for ICL or lens implants over further corneal changes
- Occupations demanding maximum night contrast with minimal optical phenomena
- Decision tailored to age, prescription, and lifestyle
