BIFOCAL IMPLANT AND METHOD FOR ALTERING THE REFRACTIVE PROPERTIES OF THE EYE

摘要

The present invention relates to an implant for insertion between layers of the cornea. The Implant includes a first portion adapted to change the curvature of the cornea at first area and thereby alter the refractive properties of the cornea at the first area, and a second portion adapted to change the refractive properties of a second area of the eye adjacent the first area and compensate for error at the second area caused by the first area change in curvature.
