Is PRESBYOND surgery suitable for athletes?

< 1 min read

PRESBYOND can be suitable for athletes seeking freedom from multifocal glasses and contact lenses during sport.

Advantages for active people

Unaided vision across ranges supports performance.

  • Improved distance and intermediate vision without spectacles
  • Less risk of glasses fogging, slipping, or breaking
  • Reduced contact‑lens dryness or loss during intense activity
  • Compatibility with helmets, goggles, and headgear
  • Useful in outdoor and water sports where glasses are impractical

Planning around training

Recovery must fit the athletic calendar.

  • Short‑term reduction in training intensity while the cornea heals
  • Avoidance of dusty environments, swimming, and heavy impact initially
  • Use of protective eyewear on return to sport
  • Discussion of possible night‑time glare in floodlit sports
  • Scheduling surgery away from key competitions
