THE PRESBYOPIA SOLUTION THEY'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. The KAMRA inlay provides a full range of vision and long-term performance, while leaving the natural lens in place. Summary of Important Information: The KAMRA inlay procedure may not eliminate the need for reading glasses. The KAMRA inlay procedure may cause blurred vision, difficulties with contrast sensitivity, problems with night vision, double vision, ghost images, glare, halos, and color disturbances. Patients may also feel pain, dryness, burning, discomfort and look red. Other risks the patient may experience include infection, swelling, thinning, or inflammation of the cornea, and changes in the patient's vision. The KAMRA inlay CAN be removed. During the clinical study, after removal of the inlay, vision generally returned to the level the patient had prior to the implantation with the KAMRA inlay. However, this does not guarantee that the patient's vision will return to exactly what it was before surgery or that the eye will not have permanent damage. Non-surgical alternatives to the KAMRA inlay procedure include the use of reading glasses or contact lenses. Before considering the KAMRA inlay procedure the patient should: 1) Have a complete eye examination and, 2) Talk with their eye surgeon about the alternatives to treatment, potential benefits, complications, risks, and time required for healing.
