PRESBYOND is “better” than standard distance‑only laser when presbyopia and near‑vision dependence are the primary concerns.
Situations favouring PRESBYOND
Multiple working distances are important.
- Presbyopic patients wanting to reduce both distance and reading‑glass use
- Occupations requiring frequent switching between near, intermediate, and distance
- Clear lenses where lens replacement would be premature
- Acceptance of blended‑vision optics and possible night‑vision changes
- Stable prescriptions within suitable ranges for blended profiles
When standard laser is preferable
Simple distance correction may suffice.
- Younger adults focused on sharp distance vision, willing to use readers later
- Individuals intolerant of monovision‑style optics
- Professions demanding maximum contrast and minimal optical phenomena
- Eyes where corneal thickness only safely supports monofocal ablation
- Patients who mainly struggle with distance blur, not reading glasses
