Removability of a small aperture intracorneal inlay for presbyopia correction.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety of the corneal inlay
removal procedure and the reversibility of visual acuities,
corneal topography, and corneal biomicroscopy
changes in a series of cases.
METHODS: Ten cases implanted with one of three versions
of the AcuFocus Kamra Inlay (ACI 7000, 7000T,
and 7000PDT; AcuFocus, Inc., Irvine, CA) were followed
for a minimum of 6 months after corneal inlay removal.
RESULTS: The reason for removal was related to subjective
dissatisfaction with visual symptoms (8 of 10
patients) such as night glare, photophobia, starburst,
blurry vision, and halos. One case of removal was related
to inadvertent thin fl ap and the fi nal case was related
to insuffi cient near vision. Mean uncorrected distance
visual acuity (UDVA) and uncorrected near visual acuity
(UNVA) was 0 ± 0.1 logMAR (Snellen 20/20) and 0.5
± 0.2 logMAR (Snellen 20/40), respectively, preoperatively
and 0.1 ± 0.1 logMAR (Snellen 20/25) and 0.5
± 0.1 logMAR (Snellen 20/63), respectively, 6 months
