Description

This article discusses the intraCOR (intrastromal correction of presbyopia) procedure, a novel, non-invasive technique using the Femtec femtosecond laser to reshape the cornea without cutting or epithelial removal. Based on results from a multicenter European study, the treatment is quick, maintains corneal integrity, and shows stable results at three months, with patients experiencing an immediate gain in near visual acuity.
