    Dynamic 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 …

    New-generation software further improves precision of laser scleral microporation

    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: Unique method to treat presbyopia goes back to basics

    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 …

    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 …

    Ocular Health Implications of the Loss of Dynamic Range of Focus Function in Presbyopia

    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 …

    A New Paradigm Shift: Parts 1 and 2 (Pages 25-31)

    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, …

    THE 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 …

    IN-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, …

    Dr. Robert Ang in CRST 

    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 …

    Pathogenesis of Presbyopia: A New Understanding of an Age-Old Disease

    FOR MOST OF HISTORY, PRESBYOPIA has been defined as a “normal” refractive error caused by age, with discussion limited to the loss of near vision beginning in our 40s. Because we have had no effective therapeutic interventions available, presbyopia has been accepted as a natural part of life and treated primarily by changing power at either …
