Laser scleral microporation treatment may be ‘game changer’ for presbyopia
CARLSBAD, Calif. — In this Healio Video Perspective from the Women in Ophthalmology Summer Symposium, Dagny Zhu, MD, and AnnMarie Hipsley, DPT, PhD, discuss laser scleral microporation for presbyopia.
Hipsley said it is important to understand that presbyopia is an aging disease rather than a refractive disorder. Catching it early and treating it can be beneficial for patients.
Zhu said laser scleral microporation preserves patients’ distance visual acuity while restoring their dynamic range of focus.
“I think it’s critical because we’re treating the underlying issue,” Zhu said. “The fact that this can be done bilaterally, can be titrated to each patient and their presbyopia needs, and may even be repeatable in the future, I think it’s going to a game changer for refractive surgery.”

VIENNA — In this Healio Video Perspective from the ESCRS meeting, Luca Gualdi, MD, speaks about the latest advances in laser scleral microporation. Laser scleral microporation (LSM, Ace Vision Group) is a treatment that restores accommodation in presbyopic patients by uncross-linking the scleral tissue that becomes stiff with age. It does so by performing arrays of micropores in …

Laser scleral microporation is a unique therapeutic solution for presbyopia that goes back to basics, rejuvenating the eye and restoring the natural dynamic mechanism of accommodation and disaccommodation. “Nature frequently develops dynamic processes, which work well for most individuals for the first 40 or 50 years of life but then, because of changes in the intrinsic …
