ABSTRACT
Refractive surgery to correct presbyopia continues to be at an experimental stage despite a decade of investigation. The dilemma in presbyopia is the need for differing refractive powers of the optical media for near versus distance vision. In this chapter, we review several studies using a multifocal corneal approach to treating presbyopia. The techniques and results of the studies are presented, as well as a discussion of comparative conclusions and areas in need of further investigation.
