Is PresbyMAX surgery suitable for presbyopia?

< 1 min read

Yes. PresbyMAX is specifically designed to treat presbyopia by creating a multifocal corneal profile to extend the range of clear focus.

How it helps presbyopes

Both distance and near are targeted.

  • Improves unaided reading and intermediate vision while preserving distance
  • Reduces reliance on reading glasses or varifocals
  • Can be tailored for myopic, hyperopic, or emmetropic presbyopes
  • Maintains a corneal rather than lens‑based approach
  • Suitable when the natural lens is still clear and healthy

Prerequisites

Not all presbyopes are candidates.

  • Stable refraction within laser ranges
  • Normal corneal thickness and regular topography
  • No significant cataract or macular disease
  • Understanding of possible night‑vision changes and adaptation
  • Shared decision after reviewing other presbyopia options
