Small-aperture corneal inlay in presbyopic patients with prior phakic intraocular lens implantation surgery: 3-month results
A 51-year-old woman was a candidate for presbyopia treatment by KAMRA inlay implantation surgery. One month before inlay surgery, the patient underwent a LASIK procedure in order to correct the refractive error after her first phakic IOL implantation procedure. The patient underwent a comprehensive preoperative examination the same as the other patients. SE just before inlay implantation surgery was 0.00 D. UDVA and CDVA were both 20/16. UNVA and CNVA were J10 and J1, respectively. Corneal thickness was 494 μm. The KAMRA inlay was implanted the same way as with the case 2 patient at a depth of 200 μm. There was an improvement in UNVA at the 3-month follow up, from J10 to J5. A minimal change in UDVA was observed, but it was still 20/20 postoperatively. SE was −0.5 D. CDVA and CNVA remained stable. At the 3-month follow-up the patient mentioned needing reading glasses only occasionally.
