PRESBYOND and monovision laser are both approaches to presbyopia, but they suit different visual needs and tolerance levels.
Ideal candidates for PRESBYOND
PRESBYOND uses blended vision to extend depth of focus in each eye. Many patients find it offers more natural, continuous vision from near to far.
- Best for people wanting good intermediate and distance performance
- Works well when both eyes have similar health and visual potential
- Requires tolerance of a small prescription difference between eyes
- Useful for patients who dislike strong monovision in contact lens trials
Ideal candidates for monovision laser
Monovision sets one eye mainly for distance and the other for near. Some people adapt very well and value the simplicity of the approach.
- Often suits those who have successfully worn monovision contact lenses
- May be preferable when corneal optics make blended profiles less suitable
- Not ideal for tasks demanding fine depth perception, such as some sports
- A thorough trial and discussion with your surgeon helps choose the best strategy
