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.

The Modern Presbyopia Exam
It’s time to move towards a more quantitative approach that can better guide treatments for presbyopia By James A. Katz, MD Presbyopia is a manifestation of the aging of the eye that is associated with near and intermediate blurry vision, headache, and eye strain or fatigue. In presbyopia, all of the tissues of the eye …

Noninvasive or minimally invasive approaches may be the solution for presbyopia before the onset of age-related cataract and a way to address the increasing need to perform close-range tasks. “The treatments that are currently available have not met our needs,” OSN Cornea/External Disease Board Member Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD, said. “Glasses are an inconvenience. Contact lenses cause …

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 …
