Lensar’s Laser System Cleared for Corneal Inlay Procedures

The femtosecond cataract laser’s new indications expand its use to surgeons who treat presbyopia, a common condition typically occurring in middle and old age that causes farsightedness following a loss of elasticity in the lens of the eye.

The laser system includes a curved contact patient interface that creates the flaps and also includes technology that renders an accurate 3-D model of the relevant anterior segment of the eye.
