Biomechanical design of intracorneal inlays

摘要: Provided herein are intracorneal inlays for correcting vision impairments by altering the shape of anterior corneal surface. The physical design inlay to induce desired change surface includes consideration biomechanical response tissue inlay. This can differ depending on thickness, diameter, and profile In one embodiment, having diameters smaller than pupil provided presbyopia. To provide near vision, an is implanted centrally in cornea 'effect' zone surface, within which diopter power increased. Distance a region peripheral zone. another small diameter that zones much larger inlays.
