Yes. From the early to mid‑40s, PRESBYOND may be considered for suitable presbyopes who are beginning to notice near‑vision decline.
When it works well in early presbyopes
Symptoms should be meaningful.
- Regular use of reading spectacles for phones, books, or screens
- Stable distance prescription and healthy corneas
- Clear crystalline lenses without cataract
- Good binocular function and willingness to adapt to blended vision
- Motivation to reduce dependence on near correction
Points to discuss at this age
Balancing current and future needs.
- How presbyopia is likely to progress over coming years
- Possibility of needing minor adjustments or glasses for very fine tasks
- Future cataract surgery potentially altering the blended‑vision balance
- Alternative strategies such as monovision with standard laser or contacts
- Ensuring benefits justify permanent corneal reshaping
