PRESBYOND is intended for eyes that have started to lose accommodation, making this a common stage to consider it.
When it fits well
Symptoms should be noticeable.
- Difficulty focusing at near or needing low‑power readers
- Stable distance prescription and healthy ocular structures
- Motivation to reduce reliance on reading glasses
- Clear lenses, so presbyopia is the primary issue
- Willingness to adapt to blended‑vision optics
When waiting may be wiser
Very early changes may not warrant surgery.
- Minimal near‑vision symptoms manageable with occasional readers
- Unclear long‑term visual priorities
- Desire to observe progression before committing to permanent corneal change
- Option to revisit suitability if presbyopia becomes more problematic later
- Use of spectacles or contact lenses as a flexible interim solution
