Presbyopia refers to a phenomenon in which the ability of the eye to accommodate is insufficient to meet the daily demand for proximity due to age. In modern society, more and more patients over 40 years old want to solve visual problems caused by presbyopia and refractive errors, which poses new challenges for clinical laser corneal refractive surgery, and a variety of combined presbyopia correction technologies and programs have emerged. However, whether laser corneal refractive surgery combined with presbyopia correction technology could treat presbyopia deserves clinical attention. Based on the mechanism of laser corneal refractive surgery and various presbyopia correction techniques, this article deeply analyzes the purpose and effect of laser corneal refractive surgery combined with presbyopia correction technology. It is proposed that this surgical treatment could only play a role in correcting presbyopia at present and should be performed accordingly.
