          Abstract

          We report a series of three case reports of KAMRA inlay implantation procedures in presbyopic patients with a history of prior phakic intraocular lens implantation surgery. Three-month results showed a two to five-line improvement for uncorrected near visual acuity. The absolute uncorrected near visual acuity change for case 1 was from J4 to J2, for case 2 was from J6 to J4, and for case 3 was from J10 to J5. No significant change of uncorrected distance visual acuity was observed in all three cases.

          Small-aperture corneal inlay for the correction of presbyopia: 3-year follow-up.

          To report the 3-year postoperative safety and efficacy outcomes of the Acufocus corneal inlay. University Eye Clinic, Paracelsus Medical University, Salzburg, Austria. Prospective nonrandomized noncomparative cohort study. The corneal inlay was implanted in the nondominant eye of naturally emmetropic presbyopic patients. Refraction, uncorrected near (UNVA), intermediate (UIVA), and distance (UDVA) visual acuities; corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA); contrast sensitivity; visual fields; subjective patient satisfaction and symptoms; and operative and postoperative adverse events and complications were evaluated. The study enrolled 32 patients. The mean UNVA improved from Jaeger (J) 6 preoperatively to J1 at 3 years and the mean UIVA, from 20/40 to 20/25, respectively. At 3 years, 97% of eyes had a UNVA of J3 or better and 91% had a UIVA of 20/32 or better. The mean UDVA was 20/20, with all eyes achieving 20/32 or better. Nine eyes (28.3%) lost 1 line of CDVA, 1 eye (3.1%) lost more than 2 lines (3.8 lines), and 3 eyes (9.3%) gained 1 line. No inlay was explanted, and no inflammatory reactions were observed. At 3 years, 15.6% of patients reported severe night-vision problems and 6.3% (versus 87.5% preoperatively) reported being dependent on reading glasses. These 3-year results support the safety and efficacy of the corneal inlay to correct presbyopia in naturally emmetropic presbyopic patients. However, despite a significant gain in UNVA and UIVA, 28.3% of patients lost 1 line of CDVA. Copyright © 2011 ASCRS and ESCRS. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

            Simultaneous corneal inlay implantation and laser in situ keratomileusis for presbyopia in patients with hyperopia, myopia, or emmetropia: six-month results.

            To evaluate the safety and efficacy of simultaneous Kamra corneal inlay implantation and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the treatment of presbyopia in emmetropic, hyperopic, or myopic patients. Private center, Tokyo, Japan. Cohort study. Patients had bilateral LASIK with simultaneous implantation of a corneal inlay in the nondominant eye to treat presbyopia and ametropia between September 2009 and April 2010. The efficacy and safety were determined by the spherical equivalent (SE) in the eye with the inlay. The study enrolled 360 eyes of 180 patients with a mean age of 52.4 years ± 5.1 (SD) (range 41 to 65 years). Sixty-four patients were available for the 6-month postoperative examination. The mean logMAR uncorrected near visual acuity in the eye with the inlay improved 7 lines in hyperopic eyes, 6 lines in emmetropic eyes, and 2 lines in myopic eyes. The mean logMAR uncorrected distance visual acuity improved by 3 lines, 1 line, and 10 lines, respectively. Simultaneous intracorneal inlay implantation and LASIK to treat presbyopia with emmetropia, hyperopia, or myopia was clinically safe and effective, yielding improvement in distance and near visual acuity. Patients were satisfied with decreased dependence on reading glasses regardless of the preoperative SE range. However, postoperative symptoms, such as dry eyes, halo, glare, or night-vision disturbances, occurred occasionally. Dr. Waring has a financial interest in and is world surgical monitor for Acufocus.

              Intracorneal inlay for the surgical correction of presbyopia.

              To evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of the ACI-7000 intracorneal inlay in increasing the depth of field in emmetropic presbyopic patients. Beyoglu Eye Research and Education Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. This prospective unmasked study comprised 39 presbyopic patients; 12 were naturally emmetropic and 27 had emmetropia resulting from previous hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis. The intracorneal inlay was placed over the pupil in the patient's nondominant eye after flap lift or creation of a conventional flap using a microkeratome. The inlay was centered on the visual axis. Postoperative follow-up was 1 year. Of the 39 inlays implanted, 3 were explanted during the study. At 1 year, the mean uncorrected near visual acuity improved from J6 (preoperatively) to J1+. All eyes with an inlay had an uncorrected near acuity of J3 or better and 85.3%, of J1 or better. Binocularly, the mean uncorrected near acuity remained J1 or better throughout the study. The mean uncorrected distance visual acuity in eyes with an inlay did not change significantly from preoperatively and remained 20/20 throughout the study period. All 3 eyes with inlay explantation returned to within +/-1.00 diopter of the preoperative refractive state for near and distance vision, with no loss of best corrected distance visual acuity. The ACI-7000 intracorneal inlay showed the potential to provide safe, effective, and reversible treatment of presbyopia.
