What is Min´PresbyLasik (Multifocal LASIK for Presbyopia)?
As people do more near vision tasks such as using smart phones or tablet PCs, their eyes get tired easily. This causes presbyopia sometimes at a younger age. This also cause problems when doing everyday tasks such as reading cell phone texts, business cards, and documents. Multifocal LASIK for Presbyopia helps many middle-aged people to do near vision tasks without reading glasses.
Principles of Min´PresbyLasik (Multifocal LASIK for presbyopia)
LASIK is a monofocal vision correction surgery which ablates the center of the cornea (6.0 mm) using a 0.6 ~ 1.0 mm laser beam.
Multifocal LASIK uses the world´s smallest 0.44 mm laser beam to correct the center of the cornea (3.0 mm) for far distance vision, and to correct the periphery of the cornea (3.0 ~ 6.0 mm) for intermediate and near distance.
Surgical Method
The customized procedures correct the center of the cornea for myopic patients; correct the periphery of the cornea for emmetropic and hyperopic patients; and correct the whole cornea if patients have astigmatism.
Possible surgeries using LASER for Multifocal LASIK for Presbyopia
