In addition to these traditional LASIK capabilities to treat, the Teneo 317 has integrated Supracor, a corneal approach to treating presbyopia.
Presbyopia is a condition where, with age, the eye exhibits a progressively diminished ability to focus on near objects.
Supracor’s unique multifocal ablation profile and sophisticated algorithm provide the expected near addition, while minimising the induction of undesired aberrations within the pupil.
Supracor is a new generation of bilateral presbyopia treatment that can give patients the spectacle free lifestyle.
