Abstract
Presbyopia represents the most common refractive error. There is currently no surgical treatment for presbyopia, which is effective, reliable, and safe. Excimer laser surgery has become a routine procedure for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism for years. Various treatment strategies for presbyopia have been brought forward using the excimer lasers. Besides monovision, creation of a multifocal cornea represents an attractive option. This procedure is also called "PresbyLASIK." Different ablation profiles to form a multifocal cornea are reviewed here and first clinical results are summarized."PresbyLASIK" is a new, interesting treatment strategy, with a huge potential for the future. At the present it should be used in controlled studies only because of some unsolved questions.
