Laser scleral microporation may solve biomechanical problem of presbyopia
CHICAGO — In this Healio Video Perspective from Eyecelerator@AAO, Alex Lopez of Ace Vision Group discusses laser scleral microporation for presbyopia.
Lopez said the GenII device can potentially deliver improved near vision without compromising distance vision in patients with presbyopia. The company plans to do a study in the United States in 2026, potentially leading to commercial availability in the U.S. in 2027.
“Presbyopia is a biomechanical problem with refractive consequences,” he said. “We finally have a solution that can potentially restore biomechanical movement and help patients regain that near vision they want in a natural way.”
