Abstract
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the AcuFocus Corneal Inlay 7000 (ACI 7000) implanted in emmetropic presbyopic patients for the improvement of near and intermediate vision over 2-year follow-up.
This prospective, non-randomized, non-comparative study included 32 naturally emmetropic presbyopic...

Abstract
Presbyopia is a gradual loss of accommodation with age. Various studies have shown that an age-related increase in lens stiffness may be one factor involved. Lens stiffness has previously been measured using lens spinning experiments, resistance to conical probe penetration and dynamic mechanical an...

Abstract
Our cohort maintained their spectacles and reported tangible improvements associated with their use. The value of simple reading spectacles for those with near vision impairment suggests that a greater emphasis on near vision is needed in the Vision 2020 agenda....

Abstract
Beyond functional aspects, this qualitative study identified additional benefits in cataract and presbyopic patients living free of glasses after receiving multifocal IOLs. The FGVS now needs to be psychometrically validated (eg, construct validity and reliability).

Abstract
1884 participants were recruited including 689 (36.6%) males and 1195 (63.4%) females. This equates to 36% of those aged 20 years or older and 67% of those aged 40 years or older living in central Australia. 55% of participants were diabetic and 20% of participants were symptomatic of an eye conditi...

Abstract
We report 2 patients who had not had head trauma and whose accommodative amplitudes, measured by dynamic retinoscopy, became markedly diminished within 1 minute of starting a meal and did not recover for 55-60 minutes. Apart from this abnormality, there appeared to be no autonomic or other neurologi...

Abstract
Based on the Helmholtz theory for accommodation, increasing sclerosis of the lens nucleus and cortex is the main cause for the development of presbyopia. Existing therapies, however, do not reverse the stiffness of the crystalline lens and thus do not regain real accommodation ability. A new approac...

Abstract
Three different approaches have been used for corneal multifocality: transitional multifocality, central presbyLasik (center for near) and peripheral presbyLasik (peripheral cornea for near). Although central presbyLasik creates a bifocal cornea, the other techniques increase the depth of focus base...

Due to inherent confounding factors in vivo, in vitro measurements have been undertaken using a robotic lens stretcher to exa...

We now understand something of the basis for this condition. It turns out to be a direct consequence of two features; first the design of the transparent lens and the way it must change shape to enable focussing by the human eye, and second the instability of proteins over a very long time period. T...
