VESA prediction tool could help guide presbyopia treatment
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 near vision progression.
“This tool, once we are able to put it into effect, becomes a powerful prediction tool, which could guide presbyopia treatments,” Hipsley said.
