PRESBYOND can be suitable for people involved in contact sports, with the added benefit of eliminating spectacle and contact‑lens vulnerabilities.
Benefits over glasses or contacts
Internal correction is more robust.
- Removes risk of broken glasses causing facial or eye injury
- Eliminates contact‑lens displacement or contamination during play
- Provides stable vision despite rapid movements and impacts
- Compatible with protective sports goggles or visors
- Useful in sports such as rugby, martial arts, and hockey
Risk‑management considerations
Trauma can still affect any eye.
- Protective eyewear remains strongly recommended
- Return to full contact should wait until healing and vision are stable
- Blunt trauma can still cause ocular damage regardless of prior surgery
- Any history of previous corneal surgery must be discussed
- Decision should reflect sport level, position, and individual risk tolerance
