Dynamic Range of Focus of the Eye: Understanding Biomechanics and Kinematics: Part 1
A PRIMARY FOCUS IN OPHthalmic health care has been on providing solutions to help our patients “see” more clearly and curtail the effects of uncurable age-related eye diseases, such as presbyopia, cataracts, glau-coma, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The eye contains more than 2 million working parts and is considered the second most complex organ in the body next only to the brain.’ Considering that the muscles of the eye are the fastest and strongest in the body with a resilient capability to adjust to rapidly changing conditions, it is surprising that more in-depth neuromuscular and biomechanical constructs have not been a fundamental cornerstone of ophthalmic education.? Nonetheless, a more extensive understanding of the physiological and biomechanical mechanisms is essential to developing more anatomically congruous innovations for treatment solu-tions, as well as disease prevention.

Dynamic range of focus recovery in presbyopes after laser scleral microporation
While considered by many to be a “normal process of aging,” the loss of the dynamic focusing function of the eye, presbyopia, is a progressive disease of ocular aging. Presbyopia affects approximately 1.8 billion people globally.1 Estimated global annual productivity losses are approximately 0.037% of the global gross domesticproduct in presbyopic adults less than 65 years …
