Cataract surgery is safe and very effective in restoring distance vision for most people who suffer from cataracts. But conventional intraocular lenses (IOLs) used for cataract procedures are monofocal lenses, meaning they have only one power. Therefore, most people who undergo cataract surgery are dependent on reading glasses for near vision.
Presby-LASIK clinical studies continue
May 25, 2009Research and development continues on multifocal LASIK (also called Presby-LASIK) as a means to restore near vision lost to presbyopia. The goal of these procedures is to expand the range of vision for presbyopic refractive surgery patients over age 40 and reduce their dependence on reading glasses.
