read moreDynamic range of focus recovery in presbyopes after laser scleral microporation
While considered by many to be a “normal process of aging,” the loss of the dynamic focusing function of the eye, presbyopia, is a progressive disease of ocular aging. Presbyopia affects approximately 1.8 billion people globally.1 Estimated global annual productivity losses are approximately 0.037% of the global gross domesticproduct in presbyopic adults less than 65 years …

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 …

A PRIMARY FOCUS IN OPHthalmic health care has been on providing solutions to help our patients “see” more clearly and curtail the effects of uncurable age-related eye diseases, such as presbyopia, cataracts, glau-coma, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The eye contains more than 2 million working parts and is considered the second most complex organ …

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 …
