Results
Patients who received presbyopic treatment with Visx Star S4 IR since March 2009 using aberration modulation in the dominant eye and the latest multifocal double ablation profile central and peripheral - PresbV (Vejarano Method) for the non-dominant eye, with this always has very good far and near vision with low percentage of night complains, since the first day and the follow-up goes in some patients until 2 years.
