New concepts in accommodation and presbyopia

چکیده
The authors conducted a review of classical and conflicting theories of accommodation and presbyopia. They make a critical comparison with the findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that have been developed in recent decades. Based on these studies, formulates a new approach on the subject, shifting the focus of the discussion of the lens to the posterior pole of the eye.

New Methods of Treatment in Presbyopia
Age-related vision impairment (presbyopia) is a consequence of a physiological process, involving gradual loss of accommodation potential. It affects most subjects above 45 years of age. Increasing life expectancy in developed countries has resulted in rising demand for correction of presbyopia (Adv Clin Exp Med 2010, 19, 3, 405–409).
متن کاملSurgical management of presbyopia
Presbyopia, the gradual loss of accommodation that becomes clinically significant during the fifth decade of life, is a physiologic inevitability. Different technologies are being pursued to achieve surgical correction of this disability; however, a number of limitations have prevented widespread acceptance of surgical presbyopia correction, such as optical and visual distortion, induced cornea...
متن کاملStatic aspects of accommodation: age and presbyopia
Although the progressive reduction in accommodative amplitude with increased age is well documented, little is known about several other aspects of static or steady-state accommodation to provide a comprehensive assessment of changes related to age and presbyopia. Static components of accommodation (tonic accommodation, depth-of-focus, slope of the stimulus/response function, and accommodative ...
متن کاملAccommodation and presbyopia.
Accommodation is a dioptric change in power of the eye that occurs to allow near objects to be focused on the retina. The ability to accommodate is lost with increasing age in humans and monkeys. This phenomenon, called presbyopia, is the most common human ocular affliction, and its pathophysiology remains uncertain. The progressive loss of human accommodative amplitude begins early in life and...
متن کاملFemtosecond Laser Restoration of Accommodation
The femtosecond laser has emerged as a revolutionary technology in the field of refractive surgery over the past decade, improving cornea-based procedures such as laser vision correction (eg, flap creation, SMILE) and laser-assisted keratoplasty. More recently, the femtosecond laser has been successfully applied to the crystalline lens to assist in cataract surgery. Presbyopia, which is defined...
