The FDA has granted 510(k) clearance for the Lensar laser system with Streamline IV to include the creation of corneal pockets and flaps for corneal inlay procedures, according to a press release.

The new indications expand the femtosecond platform to support surgeons who treat presbyopia.

“The continued expansion of capabilities with the Lensar laser system is the latest demonstration of our commitment to technological innovation that serves surgeons pursuing excellent visual outcomes for their patients,” Lensar CEO Nicholas Curtis said in the release.

The laser system’s new presbyopia procedure feature includes a curved contact patient interface that allows the device to create corneal pockets and flaps without compromising patient comfort, the release said.
