Accommodating IOLs: Hopes and Reality

Oliver Findl, MD, MBA

Accommodation is the process by which the eye changes its overall refractive power to maintain a sharp image of an object on the retina as it draws near. Age-dependent loss of the ability to accommodate, namely presbyopia, is primarily attributed to a reduction in lens elasticity [1]. Other possible causal factors for presbyopia include an increase in the equatorial diameter of the lens, loss of elasticity of Bruch’s membrane, and reduced mobility of the ciliary muscle [2].
