Introducing the presbyopia solution

Need your glasses to read this website? Are restaurant menus a blur? Do you hold your arm out to read your mobile phone? Struggle to read the prices in the supermarket? Then a new surgical procedure is going to open up a whole new world of freedom and vision.

Presbyopia is the most common eye condition in Australia, and affects many people over the age of 45. The symptoms include difficulty seeing near objects - such as newspapers and websites - while your long distance vision remains fine.

It's a natural result of aging, as the lens in your eye loses its elasticity - its ability to flex to focus on close objects as well as far away ones.

Until now, the way to address presbyopia has been reading glasses, or Phacoemulsification where an ultrasonic device is used to break up and then remove a cloudy lens from the eye.

Now, however, there's a more advanced option for restoring everyday near vision that may soon be available in Australia. It’s a new, simple and reversible procedure called AcuFocus the KAMRA® inlay.

How the KAMRA inlay works

Try this experiment. Hold your hand up to one eye and close the other, then roll that hand into a tight fist. Slowly open your fist until there's a small tunnel of light through the middle.

Look through that tunnel at the words on this page. Sharper, aren't they?

Try it with and without your reading glasses, and with and without looking through your tightened fist.

That's the remarkably simple idea behind the KAMRA inlay.

The inlay blocks unfocussed light, increasing what they call 'depth of focus'. And dramatically improving near vision - the ability to read close up objects.

Of course, the KAMRA inlay does not reduce your field of vision as your closed up fist does. In fact, the inlay is able to restore near and intermediate vision while maintaining distance vision. Thousands of tiny perforations along the surface of the inlay help your cornea stay healthy.

Imagine if everything you looked at close up had the same clarity as your long distance sight. Now, you can imagine what life with the KAMRA inlay could be.

There are some pre-conditions, however, where the KAMRA inlay is not recommended. For specific medical details, please contact us.
