A New Corneal Presbyopia Inlay: Pilot Study and Case Report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A tiny spherical gold inlay of 280 microns in diameter was implanted into a corneal pocket at 300 microns depth. The inlay is designed to shift corneal tissue into its surrounding in order to create a multifocal zone in the central cornea. The topographic images show a multi-focal zone in the central cornea which extends the dimensions of the inlay. The surgical procedure is quick and easy to perform. The presented data indicate that the new concept permits the creation of a multifocal optical zone in the corneal center which extends the dimension of the inlay.
