Laser scleral microporation helps turn back the clock for presbyopic eyes
VIENNA — In this Healio Video Perspective from the ESCRS meeting, Robert Ang, MD, shares his results with laser scleral microporation for the treatment of presbyopia. He explains the rationale of laser scleral microporation (Ace Vision Group), how it is performed, and the advantages of a treatment that does not interfere with the visual axis and allows the …

IN PART I OF THIS 3-PART series, we outlined the definition of ocular biomechanics and kinematics and described the mechanical laws under which they operate.1 In this article, we describe the specific elements and motions responsible for achieving Dynamic Range of Focus (DRoF), including the phases of vision from accommodation to disaccommodation (near to far) and disaccommodation …

NEW ORLEANS — In this Healio Video Perspective from the ARVO meeting, AnnMarie Hipsley, DPT, PhD, founder and CEO of Ace Vision Group, speaks about the Virtual Eye Simulation Analyzer, a device with predictive diagnostic capabilities. VESA uses ray tracing technology to analyze lens changes and biomechanics related to accommodation and disaccommodation, visualizing them in virtual reality and predicting …
read moreImprovement in Accommodation and Dynamic Range of Focus After Laser Scleral Microporation: A Potential Treatment for Presbyopia
Purpose: To examine the ocular changes in accommodation, wavefront aberrations, and dynamic range of focus (DROF) after laser scleral microporation (LSM) for treating presbyopia.
read moreUnlocking the recovery of dynamic range of focus with microporation therapeutics
Laser Scleral Microporation (LSM) is a therapy which represents the first biomechanical solution to the biomechanical problems of progressive presbyopia. The therapy is performed using the VisioLite® Ophthalmic Laser system developed by Ace Vision Group (AVG). Today, having no biomechanical option able to meet the loss of dynamic range of focus (DRoF) that occurs with progressive …

Presbyopia is defined as the eye’s loss of ability to focus on objects at near distances, and it is the most common cause of age-related vision impairment. Presbyopia is a significant global health issue that is underdiagnosed. It affects all people in their 40s and older: an estimated 90 million people in the United States …

DUE TO THE AGING OF THE population, most of our population will spend roughly half of their lives as presby-opes. The etiology of presby-opia has been poorly understood, and treatment options have failed to address the true issues with the disease, creating compro mises in vision that patients are eager to find a solution for, …
read moreTHE ZOOMING EYE LENS: Effects of Age on Dynamic Range of Focus
DYNAMIC RANGE OF FOCUS (DRoF), or the total range of clear vision in a natural system, is an important biomechanical function of the accommodative apparatus responsible for adjusting the crystalline lens from both far to near (accommodation) and near to far (disaccommodation). DRoF is defined by true accommodation, pseudoaccommodation, and pupillary diaphragmatic changes, which work together …
read moreIN-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, …
