The Answer for Aging Eyes?
The accommodation mechanism is the core moving “engine” of the eye – responsible for dynamic range of visual focus, as well as hydrodynamic equilibrium and circulatory functions. Doesn’t it seem likely that there would be potential ocular health benefits in rejuvenating rigid ocular tissues?
Today, there still is no authentic viable therapeutic to rejuvenate ocular rigidity and restore accommodation biomechanics. While other surgical approaches focus on exchanging the refractive power of the cornea or the lens, LSM presents an opportunity to treat one of the causes of aging eye pathogenesis.
