Laser Vision: Pioneering Laser Innovations for Presbyopia ft. Ace Vision’s Dr. AnnMarie Hipsley
In this episode, Ayesha spoke with AnnMarie Hipsley, DPT, PhD, CEO and founder of Ace Vision Group, an ophthalmic laser device company that is bringing touchless eye laser therapy to patients with age-related vision loss.
Dr. Hipsley is a vision scientist, inventor, entrepreneur, author and speaker on ocular biomechanics and the biomechanical rejuvenation of the aging eye.
She invented an innovative touchless laser system and a laser microporation system for the treatment of presbyopia.
Presbyopia is an age-related condition in which the eye gradually loses its ability to focus on close objects due to natural aging of the lens inside the eye. It typically begins to affect individuals around the age of 40 and continues to progress until around age 65.
Dr. Hipsley is passionate about educating the health care space on the global burden of uncorrected presbyopia, particularly the socioeconomic and quality of life implications of the condition.
Over the past 25 years, she has trained more than 100 ophthalmic surgeons worldwide in using near-infrared lasers for tissue microporation.
Tune into the episode to hear more about Dr. Hipsley and Ace Vision Group’s innovative solutions for presbyopia.

IN-OFFICE SURGICAL PROCEDURES FOR PRESBYOPIA
In-office procedures offer ophthalmic surgeons and patients the greatest flexibility and efficiency of scheduling. Procedures such as YAG capsulotomy, select laser trabeculoplasty, laser pupil iridoplasty, LASIK/PRK/SMILE and minor lid procedures are routinely done within the in-office surgery suite. A large 2016 study demonstrated the safety and outcomes of cataract procedures performed within the surgeon’s office, …
