The emergence of new pharmacological and technological treatments for presbyopia is allowing us to rethink the entire eye care landscape of the patient over 45. The launch of Review of Presbyopia and the Aging Eye will re-engineer how we treat patients by expanding the focus from a refractive error to a comprehensive eye care condition that encompasses risk factors and comorbidities that increase after age 45.
While presbyopia specifically may signal the aging of our patients’ eyes, it is more than just glasses and contact lenses. It encompasses diseases such as glaucoma and retinal disease, cataracts, and dry eye. It includes treatment options such as pharmacological, surgical, and unique office procedures. It even addresses the aesthetics of the aging eye.
Review of Presbyopia and the Aging Eye will bring you the latest expertise from the most recognized optometrists in all these fields. Each section has a dedicated editor and writer to guide you through the maze of new technologies and treatments:
- Optical by Dr. Kirk Smick

- Dry Eye by Dr. Melissa Barnett and Dr. Jackie Garlich
