1 Lasik Xtra Clinical Data Overview

2 Table of Contents What is Lasik Xtra? Who is Lasik Xtra being performed on? How is Lasik Xtra performed? What data to support Lasik Xtra?

3 What is Lasik Xtra? Performed in conjunction with LASIK Rapid procedure with lower energy dose (2.7J) Supported with clinical evidence Growth engine for physician practices Approved in >50 Markets Worldwide

4 Who is Lasik Xtra being performed on? Patient criteria being used by international users: Hyperopic Patients Highly Myopic Patients Borderline Residual Bed Thickness Family History of Ectasia Young Patients All LASIK Patients

5 How is Lasik Xtra Performed? Avedro s KXL System LASIK procedure performed as usual. Flap still open following excimer laser ablation in the bed Apply VibeX Xtra riboflavin to the stromal bed after excimer laser ablation for 90 s soak After 90 seconds, stromal bed irrigated to remove VibeX Xtra and reposition the flap as usual Apply UVA illumination through the epithelium: 30mW/cm 2 for 90 Sec (2.7 J/cm 2 delivered) with Avedro s KXL System.

6 Lasik Xtra Key Clinical Benefits Re-strengthening of the cornea Increased stability in visual outcomes Increased accuracy of refractive correction Lower enhancement rate

7 Why choose Lasik Xtra? Re-strengthening of the cornea Increased stability in visual outcomes Increased accuracy of refractive correction Lower enhancement rate The potential to improve integrity after LASIK through corneal CXL may provide an opportunity to reduce Keratectasia in other at-risk populations.

8 Corneal Strengthening without Refractive Change Math Modeling Simulation Cleveland Clinic Modeling shows: 2x IOP IOP 15MMHG IOP 30MMHG 15 mmhg 30 mmhg LASIK 270 µm 547 µm Lasik + Crosslinking 254 µm 516 µm Finite Element Model calculates the displacement in residual bed when intra-ocular pressure in doubled: Lasik Xtra has less displacement when IOP increased since cornea is stiffer. However, simulations demonstrate refractive equivalence. Less displacement PRE-OP LASIK LASIK + Cross-linking Seven I, Roy ASR, Dupps BJ, Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute.

9 Corneal Weakening after LASIK Scientific Data LASIK Alone: 40% % Corneal Weakening Due to Flap Creation * Weakens corneal biomechanics Corneal Cross Linking: Restores strength to corneas Reduces potential risks due to biomechanical compromise including refractive regression and corneal ectasia.

10 Why choose Lasik Xtra? Re-strengthening of the cornea Increased stability in visual outcomes Increased accuracy of refractive correction Lower enhancement rate High myopic LASIK combined with prophylactic higher-fluence CXL (LASIK-Xtra) intervention seems to induce less postoperative epithelial increase in large myopic cases. This may be an indication of enhanced cornea stability and may reduce the incidence of future myopic regression and/or the potential for ectasia.

14 Why choose Lasik Xtra? Re-strengthening of the cornea Increased stability in visual outcomes Increased accuracy of refractive correction Lower enhancement rate Lasik Xtra with the crosslinking of the cornea reduces the change in corneal biomechanics and therefore reduces the scatter and standard deviation of the results. Dr Jerry Tan, Singapore

15 Greater Refractive Accuracy in High Myopic LASIK Patients Lasik Xtra patients showed less scatter and greater accuracy in their refractive change Lasik: Lasik Xtra: 65% of Px ± 0.5 D 90% of Px ± 0.5 D Dr. Jerry Tan s study presented at ESCRS 2013: N= LASIK only (49 eyes) vs Lasik Xtra (41 eyes) Singapore (66% Female & 34% Male) Mean :-8.82 ± 1.81 D Range : to D 3 month follow-up Tan J, Por Y. 1 year experience with corneal wavefront-guided LASIK with flash cross-linking (LASIK Xtra) for the treatment of high myopia patients (-8.00D to D) using the SCHWIND Amaris 750S laser: clinical outcomes.

18 Why choose Lasik Xtra? Re-strengthening of the cornea Increased stability in visual outcomes Increased accuracy of refractive correction Lower enhancement rate He also feels there is less regression occurring among Lasik Xtra cases a notorious occurrence among standard hyperopic LASIK cases. High Myopes also tend to experience significant regression after LASIK, but not with Lasik Xtra, Dr. Jerry Tan, Singapore, Eyeworld Asia-Pacific, 2013 March Jerry Tan, Strengthening corneas in Singapore.

20 If the results of refraction are more stable, which is shown previously, logically this should result in lower retreatment rates over time. Potential ROI of this is below. Update this with site specific numbers.
