Medics in a Pisa clinic have for the first time implanted a micro-lens in a patient that cures presbyopia, an age-related condition which causes reduced ability to focus on near-by objects, they announced on Tuesday.
    The San Rossore clinic said the procedure, which made use of a laser to implant the lens, was the first of its kind in the world.
    "Presbyopia, when not controlled, can lead to headaches and visual tiredness during normal day-to-day activities," said eye doctor Marco Fantozzi, who carried out the procedure.
    He said the laser used by the clinic stood apart from others due to its precision and speed during the insertion of the lens.
    The first patient to undergo the operation was able to see even small letters up close, 24 hours after the operation, Fantozzi said. He added that the intervention was reversible and caused no damage to surrounding tissue. The lens could also be replaced with a stronger one if needed, he said.
