PresbyMAX is commonly used for people with myopia and presbyopia who want to reduce dependence on both distance and reading glasses.
Suitable myopic‑presbyopic candidates
Corneal status and range are key.
- Low to moderate myopia within safe laser limits
- Stable prescription and regular corneal topography
- Clear lenses without significant cataract
- Desire for improved unaided distance and intermediate/near vision
- Understanding of possible night‑vision changes and adaptation period
When other options may be better
Higher myopes may need lens‑based solutions.
- Very high myopia where ablation depth would be large
- Thin or borderline corneas more suited to ICL or lens replacement
- Early cataract where refractive lens exchange can address multiple issues
- People preferring monovision or lens implants to multifocal corneal optics
- Decision tailored to age, prescription, and long‑term plans
