Is PresbyMAX surgery suitable if you do a lot of reading?

< 1 min read

PresbyMAX can help frequent readers by improving near and intermediate vision, but outcomes and personal tolerance must be carefully discussed.

Potential advantages for readers

It can widen the reading range.

  • Better unaided clarity for books, documents, and digital devices
  • Less dependence on switching between different reading glasses
  • Convenience in professions requiring constant near focus
  • Flexibility when reading in varied environments
  • Possibility to reserve glasses only for very small or prolonged tasks

Considerations for heavy reading

Some may still prefer spectacles.

  • Multifocal corneal optics may slightly reduce crispness compared with tailored readers
  • Long, intensive reading sessions may still be more comfortable with glasses
  • Individual neuroadaptation varies between patients
  • Trial with multifocal or monovision contact lenses can help preview the effect
  • Decision should balance convenience against absolute sharpness for fine print
