Abstract

A new relaxing-incision surgical procedure was used for the correction of presbyopia and/or hyperopia. The technique consisted of 3 arcuate incisions of 60°, separated by nonincised spaces of 60°, intercalated among themselves. In all 4 reported cases of the total 15, an inferior multifocal cornea was created. Although a larger number of cases are needed, it is clearly possible to correct presbyopia on the cornea without any degree of accommodation.
