Although implanting the inlay is a sophisticated microsurgical procedure, it is relatively simple for those undergoing treatment and typically takes just a few minutes. Numbing drops are placed in the eye to ensure comfort. While patients relax in a reclining chair, the surgeon uses an incredibly precise femtosecond laser to create a small pocket in the cornea. Then the surgeon inserts the inlay and centers it over the pupil. With the inlay in place, the corneal pocket self-seals and heals with no need for stitches.

After Surgery

Although some patients enjoy excellent near vision soon after the procedure, optimal results usually take several months. The adjustment happens more quickly when use of reading glasses is avoided. After complete and successful adaptation, there may be times when additional magnification is needed to read small print in dim light or perform near tasks for an extended period of time.

KAMRA Inlay offers life-changing benefits for those who are dependent on reading glasses.
