PresbyLASIK approach for the correction of presbyopia.

Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW:

The aim of this review is to offer a comprehensive overview of the different PresbyLASIK approaches, which have been published in peer-reviewed journals.

RECENT FINDINGS:

Comprehensive search was conducted in scopus using keywords presbyLASIK, presbyopia, LASIK, corneal multifocality. We reviewed binocular uncorrected and corrected distance and near visual acuity, and loss of lines of best corrected visual acuity, for presbyopic patients among three different basic treatment modalities.

SUMMARY:

Additional trials and standards for reporting results for presbyopic approaches are necessary. Careful patient selection and counseling is imperative in all PresbyLASIK treatments.
