Cornea-Based Techniques and Technology for Surgical Correction of Presbyopia

Abstract

To review current options for cornea based techniques and technologies for the surgical correction of presbyopia. Corneal inlays are an emerging and promising technology and multiple inlays are in development or in the regulatory process. Inalys may be best characterized by their mechanism of action. Thermal keratoplasty, presbyLASIK and intrastromal femtosecond ring incisions are other surgical options. Multiple options exist for the cornea based surgical correction of presbyopia.
