I wonder - since the lens is new, would it behave like a young persons lens? Is it a cure for presbyopia?

  It seems likely. An already much used option for adult cataracts is a multifocal replacement lens: http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/multifocal-iols.htm http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/multifocal-iols.htm

    If I understand correctly, this is quite different, as such IOLs offer no accommodation, but only different areas with varied optical powers, which isn't as convenient (ever seen an elderly man trying to read a menu hanged on the wall?).

      You're right. I was thinking of accommodation (I remember reading someones anecdote about having one installed) but didn't remember well enough or check carefully enough. http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/accommodating-iols.htm http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/accommodating-iols....

      There are IOLs that do accommodation. http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/accommodating-iols.htm http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/accommodating-iols....

  This treatment is actually only for infants.
