Myopic or hyperopic eyes implanted with a presbyopia-correcting inlay at the time of LASIK correction have a similar epithelial remodeling response as emmetropic eyes implanted with the same inlay, independent of the type of refractive error, according to a study.
Corneal inlays are implanted in the nondominant eye to correct presbyopia. Their shape and volume reshape the corneal stroma, which causes the epithelium to rise. Over time, epithelial remodeling occurs as epithelial cells naturally redistribute away from the center. The initial rise is reduced to approximately 10 µm, tapering
