Post Lasik Laser Surgery
A newer excimer-based procedure has shown its potential efficacy in treating presbyopia. The SupraCor is a laser procedure designed for refractive and cataract surgery that uses a presbyopic algorithm to treat myopic, hyperopic, emmetropic and eyes that were previously treated with Lasik laser surgery.
Researchers concluded that SupraCor might be a better option for patients between 40 and 55 with presbyopia. Dr. Zaldivar and colleagues used the blended vision procedure to treat 12 eyes with myopia or myopic astigmatism, and at three months post-op, they observed that mean uncorrected visual acuity was 20/30 and mean near visual acuity was 20/16. In bilateral vision, uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20 and near visual acuity was 20/16. While the initial results are positive, they say that ongoing new studies will be needed to confirm this data.
