Los Angeles - One of the problems that everyone has as they turn 45 is they
lose their reading vision... Now imagine having better vision with
no Lasik and no lenses?
The Acufocus Corneal Inlay is a tiny eye ring that creates a
permanent "pinhole effect" to make near vision clearer.
Doctors call this procedure the "Reading Vision Implant" and
they are trying to find out whether this method can help test
subjects throw out their reading glasses.
The Acufocus Corneal Inlay is still experimental, and is only
available through clinical trials.
If you're interested in learning more about the trials the
national toll free number to call is 1-877-982-3858
