PRESBYOND is specifically aimed at treating presbyopia, so it becomes an option once near‑vision difficulties start to interfere with everyday tasks.
When early presbyopes are good candidates
Symptoms should be more than minimal.
- Noticeable reliance on reading glasses for phones, books, or close work
- Stable distance prescription and healthy corneas
- Clear lenses with good visual potential
- Motivation to reduce dependence on near correction
- Ability to adapt to blended‑vision optics, often tested with contact lenses
When it may be premature
Mild presbyopia may not justify surgery.
- Only occasional difficulty with small print that simple readers manage well
- Unstable prescription or evolving refractive error
- Uncertainty about tolerance of monovision‑style correction
- Preference to wait and reassess once presbyopia becomes more troublesome
- Use of spectacles or contact lenses as an interim, low‑risk solution
