Clinical utility of the KAMRA corneal inlay
The treatment of presbyopia has been the focus of much scientific and clinical research over recent years, not least due to an increasingly aging population but also the desire for spectacle independence. Many lens and nonlens-based approaches have been investigated, and with advances in biomaterials and improved surgical methods, removable corneal inlays have been developed. One such developme...
متن کاملControl of Scar Tissue Formation in the Cornea: Strategies in Clinical and Corneal Tissue Engineering
Corneal structure is highly organized and unified in architecture with structural and functional integration which mediates transparency and vision. Disease and injury are the second most common cause of blindness affecting over 10 million people worldwide. Ninety percent of blindness is permanent due to scarring and vascularization. Scarring caused via fibrotic cellular responses, heals the ti...
متن کاملElectron microscopy of tissue adherent to explanted electrodes in dystonia and Parkinson's disease.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used to treat a variety of severe medically intractable movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, tremor and dystonia. There have been few studies examining the effect of chronic DBS on the brains of Parkinson's disease patients. Most of these post mortem studies concluded that chronic DBS caused mild gliosis around the lead track and did not damage brai...
متن کاملHistological Evaluation of Corneal Scar Formation in Pseudophakic Bullous Keratopathy
PURPOSE To evaluate histological changes in the corneal stroma in pseudophakic bullous keratopathy. METHODS Twenty-eight patients (28 eyes) with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy underwent therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty at Shandong Eye Institute between January 2006 and November 2011. The patients were divided into two groups according to the duration of bullous keratopathy (<1.0 year gr...
متن کاملRefractive Surgical Correction Of Presbyopia With The Kamra Corneal Inlay
By Alois K. Dexl, MD, MSc Within the past few decades, various surgical procedures for the treatment of presbyopia have been implemented in cataract and refractive surgery. Recently introduced into the market was the Kamra corneal inlay (AcuFocus, Inc., Irvine, California). This inlay has the Conformité Europpeéne (CE) Mark and is currently commercially available in the European Union and other...
