Corneal inlays are small devices implanted into the cornea to treat presbyopia, a condition that causes difficulty focusing on close objects due to aging. The inlay is inserted into the cornea during a minimally invasive procedure, allowing the eye to focus on near objects while maintaining distance vision.
The inlays are typically made of biocompatible materials, and the procedure can be done on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. The inlay improves near vision by providing additional focusing power without affecting distance vision.
Corneal inlays are an effective solution for patients with presbyopia who want to reduce their reliance on reading glasses and improve near vision.
