Abstract

LASIK monovision represents a well-established and highly satisfactory surgical correction to achieve functional near and distance vision without corrective lenses.Multifocal corneal ablation as another method of using the excimer laser has been devised to improve near vision for correcting presbyopia by creating a multifocal corneal surface. The flattened zone reduces the refractive power and distance vision goes through this zone, whereas the steepened zone increases the refractive power and near vision goes through this zone, resulting in a clear image on the retina.
