The Kamra inlay, a treatment option for presbyopia, was featured in multiple lectures at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), according to a press release from its developer, AccuFocus Inc.
As part of the Correction of Presbyopia Around the World lecture, Dr. Gunther Grabner, professor of ophthalmology at the Paracelsus University of Salzburg, presented three years of data showing that 97 percent of patients with the inlay achieved J3 or better with a mean uncorrected near vision acuity (UNVA) of J1. Moreover, 91 percent of patients achieved intermediate uncorrected visual acuity (UIVA) of 20/32. This means people with the inlay can read the computer screen, see road signs and read the newspaper without glasses or contact lenses.
