PRESBYOND can allow safe night driving for many people, but blended‑vision optics increase the risk of halos and glare, so suitability is individual.
Potential advantages
Improved focus can support driving.
- Better unaided distance and dashboard vision
- Reduced dependence on varifocal glasses, which can distort peripheral view
- Convenience during mixed day‑and‑night driving schedules
- Useful for those who dislike contact lenses at night
- Many patients meet or exceed driving standards after surgery
Concerns to address
Night‑vision quality may change.
- Halos or starbursts around lights are more likely after presbyopic laser
- Large pupils and pre‑existing glare increase risk
- Short‑term avoidance of night driving is needed during recovery
- Some people may still prefer glasses for very demanding night conditions
- Suitability requires careful assessment and counselling
