Presbyopia correction involves various techniques to address age-related difficulty in focusing on near objects due to the hardening of the eye's lens. Options include reading glasses, bifocals, multifocal contact lenses, and surgical interventions like LASIK or corneal inlays, each with its own benefits and limitations.

Surgical interventions are medical procedures involving an incision with instruments performed to repair damage or arrest disease in a living body. These procedures range from minor operations to complex surgeries, requiring a thorough understanding of anatomy, pathology, and surgical techniques to ensure patient safety and efficacy.

Surgical Interventions

LASIK, or Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a popular refractive surgery used to correct vision issues such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea with a laser. This outpatient procedure offers rapid recovery and significant improvement in vision, often eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

LASIK

Corneal inlays are small, implantable devices designed to improve near vision by altering the eye's refractive properties, often used to treat presbyopia. They are inserted into the cornea's stromal layer and can be a reversible alternative to laser-based vision correction procedures.
