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 the sclera using an Er:YAG laser. An automated tissue segmentation software integrated in anterior segment swept-source OCT has been introduced as a new optimization tool to verify the correct diameter and volume of the micropores.
“With this new-generation software, we will have even more precise results with more safety,” Gualdi said.

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 …

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 …
