This study shows that peripheral presbyLasik technique used is well tolerated, efficient and may improve near vision in patients with low and moderate hyperopia.

This study compared presbyLasik, a multifocal and an accommodative IOL with controls. In this group of patients, distance and near acuities improved with central presbyLasik and multifocal IOL when compared with controls.

In this study, overall near to distance visual acuity obtained with presbyLasik technique is comparable to the best visual acuity that could be achieved with a simulated multifocal IOL.
