Computer use after PresbyMAX is usually possible soon, but your eyes and brain may need time to adjust to the new near and intermediate focus. Good habits support comfort and adaptation.
Getting Started
Short sessions are typically fine within a day or two.
- Begin with limited screen time and increase gradually as comfort improves.
- Use appropriate lighting and adjust font size to reduce effort.
- Follow the 20‑20‑20 rule to rest your eyes regularly.
- Use preservative‑free lubricating drops, particularly if your eyes feel dry or tired.
Optimising Visual Comfort
Small adjustments can make a big difference.
- Position your monitor slightly below eye level and at a comfortable distance.
- Expect near focus to feel different at first; reading comfort usually improves with time.
- Discuss persistent headaches, eye strain, or difficulty with specific tasks at follow‑up appointments.
- Your clinician may suggest temporary aids or adjustments while neuroadaptation continues.
