Is PRESBYOND surgery suitable for mild myopia?

< 1 min read

PRESBYOND can be suitable for mild myopia combined with presbyopia when the main problem is increasing dependence on reading glasses.

When it works well

Both distance and near are addressed.

  • Small myopic corrections that still justify laser for convenience
  • Presbyopia causing regular spectacle use for near and intermediate tasks
  • Desire to avoid toggling between “off” and “on” glasses for different distances
  • Clear lens and good corneal health
  • Willingness to adapt to blended‑vision optics

When simpler solutions may suffice

Mild myopes sometimes prefer non‑surgical options.

  • Comfort reading without glasses at close range and using glasses only for distance
  • Minimal bother from current spectacle or contact‑lens habit
  • High concern about surgical risk versus modest convenience gain
  • Preference to wait until presbyopia progresses further
  • Use of tailored spectacles or contact lenses as a lower-risk alternative
