Ciliary muscle electrostimulation improves near vision

Patients with emmetropic presbyopia who underwent pulsed ciliary muscle electrostimulation demonstrated improved short-term near vision ability, according to a study. Researchers examined the effects of pulsed ciliary muscle electrostimulation in 27 patients with early emmetropic presbyopia between the ages of 40 and 51 years. Patients underwent four sessions, one every 2 weeks, within a 2-month period. Patients underwent 8 minutes of treatment during each session, with 60 cycles of electrostimulation given. Each session consisted of 2 seconds of electric stimulation and 6 seconds of rest.
