Laser method for restoring accommodative potential

摘要

Presbyopia correction is achieved by a tightening of the crystalline lens capsule. Applying laser energy to the pre-equatorial lens capsular membrane in increase the capsule tension without unwanted effects on the central clarity or on the refractive status of the eye. Wavelength selection, power, pulse duration, treatment spot size, placement, and pattern affect the accommodative and refractive effect.
