PRESBYOND is better for presbyopes with clear lenses who wish to avoid intraocular surgery, while lens replacement suits those with lens ageing or early cataract.
Patients better suited to PRESBYOND
Corneal rather than lens‑based correction is preferred.
- Age roughly 40-55 with minimal or no cataract
- Good natural contrast and lens clarity
- Suitability for corneal laser and blended‑vision optics
- Desire to preserve the natural lens and avoid intraocular risks
- Acceptance that cataract surgery may still be needed later
Patients better suited to lens replacement
Lens status or goals favour IOLs.
- Early cataracts, lens‑induced glare, or reduced contrast
- Age typically over 55-60 when cataract is likely in the medium term
- Wish for a definitive procedure addressing both presbyopia and lens ageing
- Suitability for multifocal or EDOF intraocular lenses
- Contraindications to corneal laser, such as thin or irregular corneas
