Is PRESBYOND surgery suitable if you need reading glasses?

< 1 min read

Needing reading glasses is one of the main reasons people consider PRESBYOND, provided their eyes are otherwise suitable.

When it can be particularly useful

It targets the inconvenience of near‑vision dependence.

  • Regular use of reading or varifocal glasses throughout the day
  • Desire to reduce spectacle juggling between distances
  • Clear lenses and good corneal health
  • Stable distance prescription within laser ranges
  • Willingness to adapt to blended‑vision optics and possible night phenomena

When readers may remain the better option

Surgery is elective, not essential.

  • Mild presbyopia where off‑the‑shelf readers are only occasionally needed
  • High sensitivity to risk or small quality‑of‑vision changes
  • Other eye disease limiting likely benefit from laser
  • Contentment with current spectacle routine
  • Decision should reflect how troublesome reading glasses truly are day to day
