ESCRS eConnect Webinar April 2023 - Corneal approach to presbyopia treatment


12 April 2023

19:30-20:30 CET



Presbyopia is by far the most common vision-related problem affecting more than two billion people worldwide. It negatively impacts the quality of life in numerous ways, especially with the increase in active life expectancy in recent decades. Despite conventional management of presbyopia with reading glasses still being predominant, there are constant improvements in surgical treatment, as well. Our webinar will present the latest in the evaluation of visual function in presbyopic patients and will give an overview of current refractive laser surgical options and recent developments in corneal inlays technology, with a special focus on their long-term effectiveness and safety.
