Emerging medical and surgical presbyopic treatments

Ophthalmologists have several options at their disposal for the treatment of presbyopia, according to Elizabeth Yeu, MD, a partner at Virginia Eye Consultants and an assistant professor at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk. Speaking recently at the virtual 2022 Toronto Cataract Course, Yeu noted that innovation is advancing in presbyopia correction. “We have spent a very long time without much in the way of innovation beyond the realm of glasses and lenses,” Yeu said. “It is a booming field. We know there are a lot of presbyopes worldwide, and the market [for presbyopia management] is huge. It is only growing exponentially.”
