  • EXCIMER LASER UNIT AND RELATIVE CONTROL METHOD FOR PERFORMING CORNEA ABLATION TO REDUCE PRESBYOPIA
    Publication number: 20110137301
    Abstract: An excimer laser unit and a method of controlling the unit to perform cornea ablation to reduce presbyopia, wherein the excimer laser unit is controlled to form on the cornea a photoablative pattern inducing a fourth-order ocular aberration, in particular a positive spherical aberration.

  • ARTIFICIAL LENS, IN PARTICULAR A CONTACT OR INTRAOCULAR LENS, FOR CORRECTING PRESBYOPIA, POSSIBLY ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER VISUAL DEFECTS, AND RELATIVE PRODUCTION METHOD
    Publication number: 20070279585
    Abstract: An artificial lens (1) (contact lens or intraocular lens) for correcting presbyopia, possibly associated with other refractive defects, has at least one region (5) having a fourth-order spherical aberration in OSA notation greater than ?1.5 ?m and less than zero ?m, and possibly associated with a basic vertex power for correcting refractive defects, and with higher-order aberrations for improving vision acuity. The lens is produced by ablating a surface of a base body of the lens by means of an appropriately controlled laser device, and according to a given photoablative pattern to induce the desired aberration.
