  • ABSTRACT: Small aperture corneal inlay is one of the surgical procedures currently used in the correction of presbyopia. The latest advances have permitted the device to be implanted in both emmetropic presbyopic patients and post-LASIK patients. Postoperative visual results are significantly affected by the design and centering of the device. Good results can be obtained in near vision and in distant vision, due to an increase in the depth-of-focus.

    The implantation of this device is safe, effective and reversible. Although the complications associated with this technique are few, there may be a loss of visual acuity, so a postoperative evaluation must be made to check device status and centering.
