Data show higher patient expectations for presbyopia laser therapy among women
MARCO ISLAND, Fla. — In this Healio Video Perspective, AnnMarie Hipsley, DPT, PhD, discusses data that compared the patient-reported satisfaction levels of women and men with presbyopia after laser scleral microporation therapy.
“Interestingly enough, we had more women than men, about twice as many women in the study, and women were more demanding with their satisfaction than men,” Hipsley said at the Women in Ophthalmology Summer Symposium.

Scleral approaches to presbyopia moving from niche to mainstream
Among the many options for presbyopia, scleral approaches stand out for their unique attempt to tackle the roots of the problem, restoring physiological function rather than aiming for optical compensation. They had a slow takeoff and limited acceptance, but step by step, through a long path of research and technological upgrades, they continue to move …

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 …
