  2. Background & Study Purpose Study Purpose: To evaluate the preliminary clinical outcomes of INTRACOR intrastromalpresbyopic correction in Asian Eyes. • The INTRACOR procedure is performed on a femtosecond laser (TECHNOLAS Perfect Vision). • The laser forms a series of concentric rings within the stroma which causes a localised change in the biomechanical properties of the stroma. • This leads to a central steepening of the cornea. • The procedure takes 20 seconds to perform. • The procedure uses a curved Patient Interface which adapts to the natural shape of the cornea, without applanation, reducing the increase in IOP when applying suction ASCRS 2011, SK Kwok Note: INTRACOR is not currently approved for use in the US

  3. Methods & Materials A prospective, non-comparative case series where the INTRACOR procedure was performed on 128 eyes of Asian patients using the TECHNOLAS Femtosecond Workstation 520F (Technolas Perfect Vision). • The non-dominant eye was treated first. Patient Demographics: • 79 Females and 49 Males patients • Mean Age : 53 years old (range: 41 - 66) • 58 OD were treated; 70 OS were treated Pre-operative examinations: Included distance and near vision, corneal, topography, slit lamp examination and patient satisfaction Measured outcomes: Visual acuity (UCNVA, UCDVA, BCDVA), Refractive outcomes, patient satisfaction • Post-operative follow-up at 1D, 1W, 1M and 3M TECHNOLAS 520F ASCRS 2011, SK Kwok

  4. Results: Slit lamp and topography • INTRACOR Orbscan difference map (post-1-month) • Central steepening by 2.50 – 3.00D INTRACOR post-1-week slit lamp ASCRS 2011, SK Kwok

  5. Results: UCDVA & UCNVA LogMAR -0.08 J1+ J2 0 J1 0.1 J2 0.2 J4 J10 0.4 J6 0.7 J10 ASCRS 2011, SK Kwok

  6. Results: Refractive stability ASCRS 2011, SK Kwok

  7. Results: UCNVA (LogMAR) J14 J12 Pre-op n = 128 1D n = 126 1W n = 96 1M n = 68 3M n = 20 J9 J6 J4 J1 ASCRS 2011, SK Kwok

  8. Results: UCDVA (LogMAR) Pre-op n = 128 1D n = 126 1W n = 96 1M n = 68 3M n = 20 ASCRS 2011, SK Kwok

  9. Results: Cumulative UCNVA Pre-op n = 128 1D n = 126 1W n = 96 1M n = 68 3M n = 20 ASCRS 2011, SK Kwok

  10. Results: Cumulative BCDVA Pre-op n = 128 1D n = 126 1W n = 96 1M n = 68 3M n = 20 ASCRS 2011, SK Kwok

  11. Results: Patient Satisfaction Some patients could see the rings but their vision is not disturbed. A few patients encountered halos but the symptoms dissipated after one month. Most patients are happy with their enhanced quality of life without reading glasses. ASCRS 2011, SK Kwok

  12. Conclusion In my opinion, the intrastromalpresbyopia treatment INTRACOR is • Non invasive so very low risk for infections • Provides stable refractive outcome during the follow up period to-date • Provides a significant gain in uncorrected near visual acuity • Creates a central steepening and induces about –0.50D to –0.75D of myopia • No weakening of cornea • High level of patient satisfaction • Further long-term follow-up required to confirm stability of outcomes ASCRS 2011, SK Kwok
