Clinical Scorecard: Presbyopia as a Process: Why New Concepts Take Time

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionPresbyopia
Key MechanismsMinimally invasive corneal procedure using a binocular, neuroadaptive approach to expand depth of focus.
Target PopulationIndividuals experiencing presbyopia.
Care SettingClinical practice involving eye care and refractive surgery.

Key Highlights

  • Skepticism towards new treatment strategies is common in medical practice.
  • Established therapies are often preferred due to familiarity and perceived safety.
  • New concepts in presbyopia correction challenge traditional linear thinking.
  • PRESBYOND offers a complementary approach to presbyopia correction.
  • Clinical acceptance of innovations often requires overcoming psychological barriers.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Assess the degree of presbyopia and individual patient needs.

Management

  • Consider both corneal and lens-based procedures as complementary options.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Evaluate patient outcomes and satisfaction with chosen presbyopia correction methods.

Risks

  • Be aware of the psychological resistance to new treatment modalities.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Patients with presbyopia seeking correction options.

Innovative procedures like PRESBYOND may provide effective alternatives to traditional methods.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Encourage open discussions about new treatment options with patients.
  • Integrate new concepts into clinical practice gradually to reduce resistance.
  • Utilize a patient-centered approach that considers individual visual requirements.

The Ophthalmic ASC spoke with 4 ophthalmologists about the criteria they use for choosing monofocal, toric, multifocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF), and/or presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (PCIOLs). They also shared unmet needs in current IOL technology, what their ideal IOL would be if they could design one, and more.
