| Abstract | Presbyopia, defined as a physiological loss of accommodation, is found in all individuals over the age of 40. It is one of the most common refractive errors, predicted to affect approximately 1.4 billion people worldwide in 2020. Loss of near vision with dependency on spectacles may be distressing and the demands for alternative treatments of presbyopia such as monovision, conductive keratoplasty, multifocal LASIK, corneal inlay, femtosecond laser treatment, and intraocular lens treatment become an important concern. The problem is that understanding of accommodation as a cause remains unclear, making the possibility of curing this condition one of the most challenging frontiers of ophthalmology. |
