# Is PRESBYOND surgery suitable if presbyopia has started?

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
