Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and systems for correcting presbyopia using a surgical excimer laser include activating the laser once and transmitting a pre-defined three dimensional ablation profile to treat presbyopia based on the single activating step.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed is: 1. A surgical excimer laser treatment system, comprising: a controller configured to direct excimer laser output of three dimensional presby ablation profiles for treating emmetropic and/or ametropic presbyopes; and an excimer laser in communication with the controller configured to ablate a cornea of an eye of respective patients based on instructions from the controller to transmit a defined three-dimensional multifocal presby ablation profile using a…
