A method for treating presbyopia by performing laser ablation of the sclera involves making incisions into the sclera which are filled in with material which is more elastic than the original scleral tissue when the incisions heal. Such incisions may be placed radially about the eye in the scleral region outside the limbus of the eye. The increased circumferential diameter and flexibility of the treated portion of the sclera, along with the overall greater volume of the eye, can allow for an increase in the accommodation which can be produced in the eye via the action of the ciliary muscles on the lens and front portion of the sclera.
L'invention porte sur un procédé de traitement de la presbytie par ablation au laser de la sclérotique pour y pratiquer des incisions qui sont ensuite remplies d'un matériau restant plus élastique que les tissus scléraux originaux lors de la guérison. Lesdites incisions peuvent se faire radialement autour de l'oeil dans la zone sclérale extérieure au limbe cornéen. L'augmentation du diamètre et de la souplesse de la partie traitée de la sclérotique, ainsi que du volume global de l'oeil peuvent améliorer l'accommodation due à l'action des muscles ciliaires sur le cristallin et la partie frontale de la sclérotique.
