PURPOSE

• To evaluate the early clinical functional
  outcomes of Flexivue Micro-Lens (Presbia
  Coöperatief U.A. ) for corneal implant, in
  increasing the depth of field in emmetropic,
  presbyopic patients

3
METHODS

• Prospective unmasked study
• 29 presbyopic, naturally emmetropic patients
• Lens placed on visual axis over the pupil
• Non-dominant eye
• Postoperatively examinations 1 day, 1 week, 1
  and 3 months
• near and distance visual acuity (VA)
• slit-lamp microscopy
• OCT-Visante
• Questionnaire to grade satisfaction at 3 month

4
METHODS the surgical procedure
A mask designed to create a specific tunnel and
pocket for inlay insertion
iFS femtosecond laser 150KHz prepared the pocket
Lens placed on visual axis over the pupil

OUR RESULTS

• All 29 surgeries were uneventful
• The mean postoperative uncorrected near VA
  increased from J4 (3,97/-0,87) to J2
  (2,21/-0,77)
• The mean uncorrected distance VA changed from
  0,98/-0,06 to 0,81/-0,1 in Snellen lines after
  3 months
• In all eyes the cornea was clear no relevant
  haze throughout our follow-up
• Most of our patient did not use reading glasses
  in normal lighting condition

CONCLUSION

• Flexivue Micro-Lens showed good visual acuity
  outcomes in the early postoperative period.
  Moreover, biological compatibility, simple
  surgical procedure and fast visual recovery
  suggest this device has good potential for the
  treatment of presbyopia
