June 2011, Intracorneal inlays showing positive outcomes by Michelle Dalton EyeWorld Contributing Editor, EYEWORLD
While not yet on the U.S. market, clinical studies and longer-term
outcomes in Europe indicate these have potential in treating presbyopia

01 June 2011, Novel optical approaches drive cornea-based presbyopia correction
Corneal inlays and refined laser techniques maximize near
vision, minimize the loss of distance vision and largely preserve
cosmetic appearance.
Innovative optical concepts,
corneal implants and evolving laser techniques are providing surgeons
with many choices for presbyopia correction at the corneal plane,
clinicians say.
Three distinct optical approaches potentially
optimize near vision and minimize loss of distance vision in presbyopia
treatment. The three approaches are near power in the pupil center,
distance power in the pupil center and the pinhole effect.
