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.

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 …

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 …
