# What age is suitable for PRESBYOND surgery?

PRESBYOND is generally suited to adults in the typical presbyopic age range, often from the mid‑40s through the early 60s.

## Preferred age band

Presbyopia should be established.

- Mid‑40s or older, once near‑vision difficulties are noticeable
- Clear lenses without significant cataract
- Stable prescription over 12-24 months
- Corneas still healthy and appropriate for laser
- Enough remaining visual potential to benefit from blended vision

## When other options fit better

Age extremes shift the balance.

- Younger than 40, where standard laser or ICL may be more appropriate
- Older than mid‑60s with lens opacities, where lens replacement is preferable
- Very early presbyopes who cope well with simple readers
- Patients whose age‑related ocular disease dominates visual limitations
- Decisions made case by case rather than by age alone
