“…In a recent review by Vargas‐Fragoso & Alio (), there were at least nine studies reporting a far VA loss of 2 + lines in the eye that was treated aiming to improve near vision. This anisometropia and aniseikonia—as seen in the context of other techniques—can induce binocular problems after surgery.…”

To review binocular and accommodative disorders documented after corneal or intraocular refractive surgery, in normal healthy prepresbyopic patients. A bibliographic revision was performed; it included works published before 1st July 2017 where accommodation and/or binocularity was assessed following any type of refractive surgical procedure. The search in Pubmed yielded 1273 papers, 95 of which fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Few publications reporting binocular vision and/or accommodative changes after refractive surgery in normal subjects were found. The reduction in fusional vergence is the most frequently reported alteration. Anisometropia is an important risk factor for postoperative binocular vision-related complaints. Most diplopia-related visual complaints, irrespective of the surgical procedure, were in fact misdiagnosed preoperative disorders. The preoperative evaluation of patients seeking spectacle/contact lens independence should include a complete binocular and accommodation assessment where parameters such as the phoric posture, accommodative amplitude and facility, near point of convergence, fusional reserves and accommodative convergence/accommodation coefficient are measured. This would allow the identification of risk factors that could compromise the success of the refractive surgery and cause clinical symptoms.

“…In Central PresbyLASIK a hyperpositive area for near vision is created at the center, and the periphery is left for far vision. [ 23 24 ] It is suitable for both hyperopes and myopes as only minimal corneal excision is required. This technique is pupil dependent.…”

“…In peripheral PresbyLASIK, the center of the cornea is left for distance, and the periphery is ablated such that a negative peripheral asphericity is created to increase the depth of field for near vision. [ 24 ] For myopes, a significant amount of corneal tissue needs to be removed when performing peripheral PresbyLASIK. This is why this technique is only recommended for presbyopic hyperopes or presbyopic low myopes.…”

Presbyopia results from loss or insufficiency of the eye's accommodative ability, and clinically manifests as the inability to focus near objects on the retina. It is one of the most common causes of visual impairment worldwide especially in adults of productive or working age. Various means of compensating for the loss of accommodative ability have been devised from optical tools such as spectacles and contact lenses, to topical medications and to surgical procedures. A comprehensive search on journal articles about topical and surgical correction of presbyopia was undertaken. The various techniques for presbyopia correction, as enumerated in these articles, are discussed in this paper with the addition of our personal experience and perspective on the future of these techniques.

“…In peripheral presbyLASIK, the center is used for far distance, and the periphery is ablated to create a negative peripheral asphericity for increased depth of focus. Although the near visual acuity results achieved with presbyLASIK seem promising, most current literature on PresbyLASIK reports a loss of at least two lines of distance visual acuity, which is an unwanted outcome for many patients [27,28].…”

Purpose: To understand the nature of presbyopia and the various pseudophakic treatment methods available. Findings: Presbyopia is a normal and unavoidable age-related condition that results in the progressive worsening of the ability to focus clearly on close objects. This loss of accommodation affects near-vision tasks and if untreated can impact quality life. Presbyopia can easily be treated with glasses and contact lenses, but developments in presbyopiacorrecting intraocular lenses for implantation during refractive lens exchange or cataract
