ARVO LIVE: AI revolution in ophthalmology
Ophthalmology Times® talked with AnnMarie Hipsley, DPT, PhD, about 3D finite element model used to understand more about the biomechanics of accommodation and dis-accommodation as it relates to functions for visual function as well as aqueous hydrodynamics at this year’s ARVO meeting.

Scleral approaches to presbyopia moving from niche to mainstream
Among the many options for presbyopia, scleral approaches stand out for their unique attempt to tackle the roots of the problem, restoring physiological function rather than aiming for optical compensation. They had a slow takeoff and limited acceptance, but step by step, through a long path of research and technological upgrades, they continue to move …

CHICAGO — In this Healio Video Perspective from Eyecelerator@AAO, Alex Lopez of Ace Vision Group discusses laser scleral microporation for presbyopia. Lopez said the GenII device can potentially deliver improved near vision without compromising distance vision in patients with presbyopia. The company plans to do a study in the United States in 2026, potentially leading to commercial availability in …

What other future treatments have promise? Laser scleral microporation is under investigation as a laser treatment for patients with emmetropic presbyopia. Four quadrants of the sclera are treated with an Er:YAG laser to uncrosslink the sclera and rejuvenate the accommodative mechanism (see video demonstration below). Treatment does not appear to affect the visual axis or …
