Options For Managing Presbyopia

Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis

Among the most effective surgical procedures for the management of presbyopia is a refractive surgery known as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Refractive surgeries are designed first and foremost to change the general shape of the cornea, which should help improve close-up vision and lessen the issues caused by presbyopia. This procedure is not reversible, which is why patients should consider all of their options before obtaining it. LASIK surgery begins with the creation of a thin flap positioned deep into the cornea. A laser is then used in the target area to remove some of the inner layers of the cornea as a means of steepening the domed shape of the cornea. This surgical procedure is considered the least invasive form of refractive surgery used for the treatment of presbyopia, which also means the recovery time is much shorter than many might expect.
