# Who is better suited to PRESBYOND vs standard laser eye surgery?

PRESBYOND suits presbyopic patients wanting multi‑distance vision, while standard laser suits those mainly needing distance correction.

## People better suited to PRESBYOND

Presbyopia and near dependence dominate.

- Age mid‑40s or older with symptomatic presbyopia
- Stable low‑to‑moderate refractive error within laser limits
- Desire to reduce reading and varifocal‑glass dependence
- Comfort with monovision‑style optics and potential night‑vision changes
- Clear lenses and healthy corneas

## People better suited to standard laser

Distance vision is the main priority.

- Younger adults with little or no presbyopia
- Those happy to use reading glasses later in life
- Individuals wary of blended‑vision optics but wanting sharp distance
- Professions where maximum contrast is more important than near independence
- Eyes needing straightforward myopic, hyperopic, or astigmatic correction only
