KAMRA results
Four-year follow-up with the AcuFocus ACI-7000, now known as the KAMRA, intracorneal inlay suggest long-term safety and efficacy for the device. Â A study of 39 presbyopic patients aged 45-60 years showed lasting improvement in uncorrected near visual acuity, with most patients able to read J3 or better. Uncorrected distance acuity was 20/40 or better in all patients. Four inlays were explanted during the study. Reasons included refractive shift, thin flap and detection of a buttonhole flap. There were no severe corneal complications that affected final vision.
