# Who is suitable for PRESBYOND vs monovision laser?

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
