# Is PRESBYOND surgery suitable for athletes?

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
