Abstract
PresbyLASIK is one of the most commonly used modalities of surgical correction in presbyopes with no cataract. Unlike monovision procedures, both the eyes are adjusted for near and distance, providing a good stereopsis. This works by creating a corneal multifocality and increasing the depth of focus. Most techniques of presbyLASIK currently employ hybrid methods, i.e., a component of monovision added on to a multifocal corneal ablation. Choosing an appropriate proportion of these two components according to the patients' requirements and meticulous patient selection are key to obtaining desirable outcomes. Being corneal-based procedures, presbyLASIK has shown to be reversible. Thorough updated knowledge of the different presbyLASIK procedures, their principles and outcomes based on previous studies is required before a refractive surgeon plans to start providing presbyLASIK services. We performed a comprehensive search on PubMed with the keywords "Presbyopia surgery," "PresbyLASIK" "PresbyMAX," "Supracor," and "Custom-Q." In this review article, we have explained the principles of the various presbyLASIK procedures, appropriate patient selection and planning on the devices with examples, and summarized the previously published outcomes of these techniques.
