title: Small-diameter corneal inlay in presbyopic or pseudophakic patients.
abstract: We report the results of using the small-diameter corneal inlay to create a bifocal cornea. The inlay was implanted in five eyes in January 1993. At 12 months postoperatively, uncorrected near vision had improved from J4 to better than J2 in four of the five. The results indicate that the corneal inlay improves near vision and is compatible within the cornea.
