研究目的
To report the short-term results of simultaneous photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and small-aperture cornea inlay implantation (KAMRA) surgery in treating presbyopia.
研究成果
Simultaneous PRK and KAMRA inlay surgery is effective and predictable for treating presbyopia in the short term, with advantages such as shorter recovery time and reduced steroid use compared to separate procedures. Future long-term studies are recommended for better predictability.
研究不足
The study has a small sample size and lacks long-term data beyond 6 months, which may affect the generalizability and robustness of the findings. Additionally, there was no correlation analysis between inlay centration and visual outcomes.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved performing simultaneous PRK and KAMRA inlay surgery on patients with presbyopia, using specific surgical techniques and laser systems.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
21 patients were selected and divided into myopic, hyperopic, and emmetropic categories based on preoperative assessments. Data were collected through follow-up exams at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a femtosecond laser (IntraLase iFS, Abbott Medical Optics), an excimer laser (Allegretto EX-500, Alcon), and the KAMRA inlay (AcuFocus, Inc). Materials included bandage contact lenses, fluoroquinolone drops, prednisolone acetate 1% drops, and fluorometholone
4:1% drops. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The surgical procedure involved marking the cornea, creating a stromal pocket with the femtosecond laser, inserting the KAMRA inlay, performing PRK with the excimer laser to correct refractive error, and postoperative care with medications and follow-up visits.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Outcome measures such as uncorrected near visual acuity, best-corrected distance visual acuity, and mean refractive spherical equivalent were analyzed using descriptive statistics including means, standard deviations, and ranges.
