What is Presby LASIK?

Presby LASIK is an experimental type of laser vision correction that changes the shape of the cornea to create corrections in near and far vision. It is also called multifocal LASIK because of the ability to correct vision on multiple focal levels. Presby LASIK is used to correct presbyopia, a condition in which the loss of eye lens elasticity causes inability to focus sharp near vision.

Presby LASIK has not yet been approved by the FDA. The only way to receive this procedure in the US is to enroll in a formal study to test the effectiveness and safety of it. So far, the outcome of the procedure has been positive, particularly for individuals who were farsighted and who had developed presbyopia due to old age.
