If you are comfortable with glasses and they do not interfere with your lifestyle, PRESBYOND surgery is usually unnecessary.
When surgery offers little added value
Current correction already meets needs.
- Glasses provide clear, comfortable vision for all activities
- No significant inconvenience from changing between pairs or using varifocals
- Low willingness to accept surgical risk for marginal convenience gains
- Cost and follow‑up not justified by current level of bother
- Preference to avoid permanent corneal changes while vision is satisfactory
Situations where it may still be considered
Some people seek extra freedom.
- Occupations or sports where glasses are impractical or unsafe
- Frustration with varifocal distortion or limited fields
- Strong motivation after understanding risks, benefits, and alternatives
- Desire to reduce long‑term dependence on spectacles despite general satisfaction
- Decision should align with how much glasses truly impact everyday life
