3. Incidence and Prevalence of
Presbyopia/Near Vision Dysfunction
• Universal after the age of 45
• 40% of USA population
• 110-120 million people
• 24% myopic (>-1.00)
• 26% hyperopic (>+1.00)
• 50% emmetropic (+0.875 to -0.875)
• 30% also have astigmatism over 1
diopter

4. A Few Important Concepts:
Accommodation: The eyes dynamic
ability to focus under CNS control
through a range in power of the eye
as the distance to the object being
observed varies. (Usually measured
in diopters or an accommodative
amplitude).

5. A Few Important Concepts:
Depth of Focus: The range in
distance or diopters over which an
individual eye or optical system can
see specific target (usually 20/40
and J3)

6. Monovision Blended Vision:
A. Most popular approach to enhance near vision
worldwide
B. Gives highest quality of vision.
C. Aspheric IOL’s or custom ablation stabilization
preferred by me.
D. Visual target.
1. Distance eye: Plano to -0.50
2. Near eye: -1.25 to -1.75

7. Multifocal Optics
A. Second most popular approach to enhance
near vision with corneal or lens based
refractive surgery worldwide.
B. Multifocal Optics can be refractive,
diffractive, or a hybrid.
C. Multifocal Optics can be distance dominant,
near dominant, or symmetrical.

TECNIS®
Symfony IOL delivers:
- Sustained mean visual acuity of 20/20 or
better through 1.5 D of defocus
- Full range of functional (20/40 or better)
vision through 2.5 D of defocus
- Halo and glare levels comparable to that
of a monofocal IOL due to the lack of a
distinct second focus, coupled with
achromat technology

for Enhanced Near

19. AcuFocus KAMRA inlay reduces aperture size and
increases depth of field. The inlay harnesses
useful light and allows only focused rays to reach
the retina through an uninterrupted pathway.
Presbia Flexivue Microlens and Neoptics Icolens
are multifocal optics. The outer zone on both
inlays provides near vision and the central zone
has a neutral power to provide distance vision.
Both inlays come in a range of powers to address
the progression of near vision dysfunction over
time.

Inlay increases the steepness of the cornea

24. Accommodating IOL’s
A. Third most common approach to lens based refractive
surgery to enhance intermediate and near vision.
B. The mechanism of action of accommodating IOL’s, like
normal accommodation, is multifactorial and includes
increased depth of focus benefits of pseudo-
accommodation and accommodation.
C. Quality of vision issues are significantly less than in a
multifocal IOL, but slightly greater than with an aspheric
monofocal IOL.
(ARMD, glaucoma, previous refractive surgery, etc are
therefore less of an issue.)

27. Thought on the Future
A. Monovision/blended vision will remain an attractive
option.
B. Multifocal development is maturing and growth in
use will continue for several years and then plateau.
(2020)
C. Accommodating IOL development is less mature than
multifocal, but advancing steadily and may eventually
dominate. ( 2020)
D. By 2020 Accommodating IOL’s or those that increase
depth of focus will become more popular, but not
completely replace monovision and multifocal optics.
