Allotex: A New Era in Presbyopia Correction

Restore Your Natural Sight with Tissue Addition Technology

At Eye & Laser Clinic, we are proud to offer Allotex, an innovative corneal inlay procedure that helps restore near and intermediate vision in patients affected by presbyopia—a natural age-related condition that causes difficulty focusing on nearby objects.

What Is Allotex?

Allotex is a minimally invasive, bioengineered tissue addition procedure that enhances the cornea’s focusing power using bioidentical, human-derived corneal tissue. Unlike traditional corrective methods, Allotex preserves your distance vision while significantly improving your ability to see clearly at reading and screen distance.

Who Is a Candidate?

Presbyopia typically begins in your 40s as your eye’s lens becomes stiffer and less flexible. If you’re:

  • Experiencing blurry near vision, headaches, or eye strain

  • Relying on reading glasses for everyday tasks

  • Looking for a reversible, natural solution

You may be an ideal candidate for Allotex.

The Procedure: Safe, Simple, and Quick

This 15-minute outpatient procedure is performed under local anesthetic in three key steps:

Femto-LASIK Flap Creation

A femtosecond laser is used to create a precise, thin corneal flap.

Tissue Addition

A sterile, bioidentical tissue lenticule is inserted onto the corneal stroma to reshape the visual surface.

Flap Closure

The flap is gently repositioned to secure the inlay, with no stitches needed.

Key Benefits

  • Bioidentical Corneal Tissue: Natural and biocompatible

  • Minimally Invasive: No tissue removal

  • Reversible: The inlay can be removed if necessary

  • Rapid Visual Recovery: Most patients see improvement within days

  • Preserves Distance Vision: Enhances near and intermediate vision while keeping distance clarity intact

Backed by Science

Extensive clinical research has demonstrated excellent outcomes, including improved near and intermediate visual acuity and minimal postoperative discomfort. Peer-reviewed studies confirm the safety and effectiveness of this cutting-edge technique:

4. HOW TISSUE TECHNOLOGY WORKS

Tissue addition technology is an advanced eye treatment where healthy donor corneal tissue is carefully placed into the patient’s own cornea to improve its shape and function. Because the cornea is essential for focusing light, even small enhancements can lead to significant visual improvement.

The procedure uses laser precision to shape and position the tissue inlay, improving near and intermediate vision while preserving distance vision through the untreated outer part of the cornea. This innovative approach helps restore optical clarity naturally and safely—without removing any existing eye tissue.
