Disease relevance of Presbyopia

 

High impact information on Presbyopia

  • A decrease in the rate of transport of water, nutrients and anti-oxidants (e.g. glutathione) would be expected to lead to progressive oxidative damage to lenses with age, and may ultimately contribute to presbyopia and senile nuclear cataract [4].
  • CONCLUSION: The visual and refractive outcome of excimer laser PRK for presbyopia with the Aesculap-Meditec MEL 60 is promising, especially in view of the 2-year follow-up [5].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Promising results were obtained with the refractive multifocal phakic IOL prototype investigated in this pilot study for near and far visual correction in presbyopia associated with myopia and hyperopia [6].
  • Presbyopia complicating pre-existing strabismus [7].
  • Peer review; cursing presbyopia; DUI and dealing with the law; Cadillac II: Robocop [8].
 

Gene context of Presbyopia

  • In addition, a recap of current available techniques is included for correction of presbyopia with contact lenses from the perspective of prescribing for an aging patient--not merely a patient who has lost only the ability to accommodate [9].
