Multifocal LASIK, Corrective Eye Surgery Even for The 50ish

Filed in archive Treatment by Gloria Gamat on April 4, 2006

If you are 45 above and suffering from presbyopia, there is good news for you, multifocal LASIK: an eye corrective surgery even for people who just need reading glasses and those past 65 years old who even previously had LASIK or even cataract surgery with artificial lens implantation.

The newer treatment of multifocal LASIK allows for vision for driving,reading and intermediate distance. In multifocal LASIK the excimer laser is used to create more than one curvature on the cornea of the eye to provide more than one natural focal point without the need of the internal lens to change shape. Multifocal LASIK began in development in 1992, and up until recently it has been available only outside the United States.

At present, less than five clinics in the U.S. are performing the multifocal LASIK procedure, which is an off-label use of the FDA approved excimer lasers. Due to excellent results and high demand, this situation will change in the next couple of years. To read more about LASIK technology, click here.
