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.
