Laser Vision Correction for Presbyopia is here!

April 6, 2009

Presbyopic laser vision correction reduces spectacle dependence in pseudophakes | www.modernmedicine.com

The missing element in LVC today is real multifocal correction to deal with a the large population of baby boomers that are finding a need for a different correction for distance vision than near vision(most people over 40 years of age). As of now we have only two options for adults: 1) two eyes corrected for distance vision and reading glasses or 2) mono-vision, one eye corrected for near, and the other corrected for distance vision. We currently have the ability to create mulitfocal spectacle lenses, and multifocal contact lenses. Johnson & Johnson's Vistakon just released a new Acuvue for Presbyopia in March 2009, CooperVision and Bausch & Lomb have both had multifocal contact lenses for years.
