Is PRESBYOND surgery suitable for astigmatism?

PRESBYOND can treat regular astigmatism alongside presbyopia, provided the cornea is otherwise healthy.

When astigmatic presbyopes are good candidates

Regularity and magnitude are key.

  • Regular corneal astigmatism typically up to about 3 dioptres
  • Stable refraction with symmetrical, healthy topography
  • Presbyopia causing bothersome dependence on multifocal spectacles
  • Clear crystalline lens and good macular health
  • Willingness to adapt to blended‑vision optics and possible night‑time phenomena

When astigmatism limits suitability

Irregular or high astigmatism may need alternatives.

  • Irregular astigmatism or keratoconus where laser may worsen vision
  • Very high astigmatism beyond platform capability
  • Eyes better served by toric ICLs or toric lens implants
  • Potential need for cross‑linking or rigid lenses in ectatic corneas
  • Comprehensive corneal mapping guides the safest option
