Theoretical basis for the scleral expansion band procedure for surgical reversal of presbyopia (SRP)

Theoretical basis for the scleral expansion band procedure for surgical reversal of presbyopia (SRP) A new technique, the scleral expansion band procedure, has been developed for the surgical reversal of presbyopia. The effects of scleral expansion band are based on a recently developed theory by Schachar, which states that the crystalline lens is under increased equatorial zonular tension during accommodation. An understanding of demonstrable clinical effects of the scleral expansion band procedure, based on Schachar's theory, requires a revision of historically held views concerning the mechanism of accommodation. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Annals of Ophthalmology Springer Journals

Abstract

A new technique, the scleral expansion band procedure, has been developed for the surgical reversal of presbyopia. The effects of scleral expansion band are based on a recently developed theory by Schachar, which states that the crystalline lens is under increased equatorial zonular tension during accommodation. An understanding of demonstrable clinical effects of the scleral expansion band procedure, based on Schachar's theory, requires a revision of historically held views concerning the mechanism of accommodation.
