Fisiologia da acomodação e presbiopia

Abstract: Presbyopia is one of the earliest universal signs of aging and the basic pathophysiology involved in its development has been a matter of controversy for centuries. This article discusses many aspects of presbyopia by reviewing the literature on the multitude of age-related changes that occur in the eye. Fisiologia da acomodação e presbiopia

“…The mechanism of presbyopia involves changes both in the contraction and relaxation capacity of the ciliary muscle and in the lens, such as: loss of elasticity of the lens capsule and fibres, increased volume and thickness, changes in protein composition, formation of high molecular weight aggregates, changes in the insertion point on the zonule, shortened radius of curvature of the anterior surface, and decreased light transmission capacity (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) .…”

“…Apesar da dificuldade para a leitura atingir todas as faixas etárias, o segmento mais prejudicado, 24,5% da população brasileira (12) , é o dos indivíduos afetados pela presbiopia, desordem refrativa mais comum na vida adulta e relacionada à diminuição da amplitude da acomodação (13) , que se manifesta em torno dos 40 anos em indivíduos emétropes e hipermétropes exigindo o uso de óculos para leitura ou lentes de contato (14) .…”

Recentemente Werner et al (5) publicaram uma excelente revisão sobre os principais aspectos da fisiologia da acomodação e sua relação com a presbiopia.…”
