Presbyopia Treatment with Excimer laser

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of excimer laser for the treatment of presbyopia. Method: 11 eyes of 7 presbyopia patients with or without refractive error were treated with excimer laser. All patients were treated with NIDEK-EC 5000 CX2. Surface ablations were used in all cases. The preoperative and postoperative manifest refraction, distant and near visual acuity were measured. Result: The spherical equivalent was +0.8 D ± 0.8 at preop and −0.6 D ± 0.6 at postop. The distant visual acuity was 0.71 ± 0.37 at preop and 0.64 ± 0.31 at postop. The near visual acuity was 0.13 ± 0.08 at preop and 0.69 ±…
