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
