Introduction: The management of presbyopic patients is a medical, surgical and economic issue. We wondered which procedure, whether a Presbylasik technique called Regular Supracor or the intraocular surgery of clear lens replacement by a trifocal diffractive lens (presbyopic lens exchange [Prelex]), provided the best results (in visual acuity and satisfaction) for our hyperopic and presbyopic patients between 55 and 70. The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of the two techniques (at one week and three months) and to assess patients' quality of life.

Methods: This prospective, consecutive, single center, non-randomized clinical study involved 15 eyes of 12 patients with keratoconus who underwent an AS-OCT scan (Spectralis; Heidelberg Engineering, Inc., Carlsbad, CA) to search for a demarcation line and its depth at 1 month after iontophoresis-assisted transepithelial CXL.
