1. Presbia: a new solution for presbyopia correction Dr M. Fantozzi (1), Dr I. Lenzetti (2), Dr A. Canovetti (1) (1) Casa di cura “Barbantini”, Lucca, Italy; (2) U.O. Oculistica, ASL 4, Prato, Italy Authors have no financial interest

2. PURPOSE To evaluate the early clinical functional outcomes of Flexivue™ Micro-Lens (Presbia Coöperatief U.A. ) for corneal implant, in increasing the depth of field in emmetropic, presbyopic patients

3. METHODS Prospective unmasked study 29 presbyopic, naturally emmetropic patients Lens placed on visual axis over the pupil Non-dominant eye Postoperatively examinations: 1 day, 1 week, 1 and 3 months: – near and distance visual acuity (VA) – slit-lamp microscopy – OCT-Visante Questionnaire to grade satisfaction at 3 month

4. METHODS: the surgical procedure A mask designed to create a specific tunnel and pocket for inlay insertion iFS femtosecond laser 150KHz prepared the pocket Lens placed on visual axis over the pupil

5. The result BASELINE 1 HOUR 1 WEEK 1 MONTH 3 MONTH

6. OUR RESULTS All 29 surgeries were uneventful The mean postoperative uncorrected near VA increased from J4 (3,97+/-0,87) to J2 (2,21+/- 0,77) The mean uncorrected distance VA changed from 0,98+/-0,06 to 0,81+/-0,1 in Snellen lines after 3 months In all eyes the cornea was clear: no relevant haze throughout our follow-up Most of our patient did not use reading glasses in normal lighting condition

7. OUR RESULTS

8. CONCLUSION Flexivue Micro-Lens showed good visual acuity outcomes in the early postoperative period. Moreover, biological compatibility, simple surgical procedure and fast visual recovery suggest this device has good potential for the treatment of presbyopia Thank you for your kind attention
