PresbyLASIK
2. Epstein Robert L and Gurgos Mark A, “ Presbyopia treatment by monocular peripheral presbyLASIK”, J Refract Surg. 2009 Jun;25(6):516-23 PresbyLASIK is a surgical technique for presbyopic visual correction using Excimer LASER ablation.Among the presbyLASIK techniques, the Excimer LASER ablation creates a central area, which is hyperpositive for near vision leaving the midperipheral cornea for far vision. The first presbyopia treatment with excimer laser was done with the monovision technique LASIK. http://www.oteurope.com/ophthalmologytimeseurope/Refractive/PresbyLASIK-versus-multifocal-refractive-IOLs/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/489731.
Some authors consider the PresbyLASIK the next step after monovision LASIK. References 1. ^ Dolores Ortiz, PhD, Carlos Illueca, PhD, Jorge L. Alió, MD, PhD (01 January 2008).
PresbyLASIK is a surgical technique for presbyopic visual correction using Excimer LASER ablation. PresbyLASIK treatment uses the principles of LASIK surgery to create a multifocal corneal surface aimed at reducing near vision spectacle dependence in presbyopic patients. Among the presbyLASIK techniques, the Excimer LASER ablation creates a central area, which is hyperpositive (more highly curved) for near vision leaving the midperipheral cornea for far vision. .
