Is PresbyMAX surgery suitable if you want spectacle independence?

< 1 min read

PresbyMAX can significantly reduce dependence on glasses at multiple distances, but complete spectacle independence cannot be guaranteed.

How it can reduce glasses use

Many everyday tasks become glasses‑free.

  • Improved unaided distance, intermediate, and near vision
  • Less reliance on reading glasses for routine tasks
  • Convenience for work, social, and leisure activities
  • Useful for people who dislike varifocals or contact lenses
  • Potential to keep backup glasses only for very fine print or demanding conditions

Limits to full independence

Glasses may still be needed sometimes.

  • Very small print or low‑contrast material may still require aid
  • Age‑related changes and mild regression can occur over time
  • Night driving or precision work might benefit from spectacles
  • Other eye diseases could reduce spectacle‑free vision later
  • Realistic expectations are vital for satisfaction
