Is PresbyMAX surgery suitable for athletes?

< 1 min read

PresbyMAX can be suitable for athletes, particularly those wanting freedom from multifocal glasses or contact lenses during sport.

Advantages for active people

Unaided vision across distances helps performance.

  • Improved distance and intermediate vision without spectacles
  • Less worry about glasses fogging, slipping, or breaking
  • Freedom from contact‑lens dryness or loss during intense activity
  • Compatibility with helmets, goggles, and headgear
  • Convenience in outdoor and water sports

Planning around training

Recovery must fit the athletic schedule.

  • Temporary reduction in training intensity while the cornea heals
  • Avoidance of dusty, high‑impact, or swimming environments initially
  • Use of protective eyewear when returning to sport
  • Realistic discussion about night‑time glare in sports played under floodlights
  • Scheduling surgery away from key competitions or events
