Corneal inlays may remove need for reading glasses

Implantable eye devices called corneal inlays are designed to correct presbyopia - the age-related loss of near vision that affects over a billion people worldwide.

Delegates at a recent scientific meeting learned how one such device - the KAMRA inlay - improved near vision well enough for 80% of study participants to be able to read a newspaper without impairing far distance vision for common activities such as driving.
