1 Pseudo-accommodative Cornea (PAC) for the Correction of Presbyopia Alaa El Danasoury, FRCS Magrabi Hospitals & Centers

2 Surgical options for the Correction of Presbyopia Monovision Reversal of Presbyopia: Anterior Ciliary Sclerotomy Anterior Ciliary Sclerotomy with silicone plugs Scleral expansion segments Laser Presbyopia Reversal (LAPR) Pseudoaccommodation: Intracorneal Lenses AC phakic IOL (Baikoff) Clear lens exchange with Multifocal / Accommodative IOL Pseudoaccommodative LASIK

3 I - Surgical Reversal of Presbyopia 1- Silicone Expansion Plug Implant Regression is common. Possible extrusion. FB sensation. Time consuming. SEP

4 I - Surgical Reversal of Presbyopia 2 - Scleral Spacing Procedure SSP Controversial Time consuming Long term results?

5 II- Pseudo-accommodation 1- Intracorneal lenses Decentration Flap Haze

6 II Pseudo-accommodation 2- CLE with Accommodative IOL

7 II Pseudo-accommodation 3- Vivarte Presbyopic lens Distant Near Distant

8 II - Pseudo-accommodation 4- LASIK Multifocal Cornea o Central Myopic Island o Paracentral Myopic Ring o Decentered Myopic Island o Controlled Multizone Aspheric LASIK

11 Multifocal Cornea Concerns Safety: Loss of Distant BSCVA Loss of Contrast Sensitivity Stability 6 & 12 Months data Efficacy: Near vision with distant correction Patient satisfaction Subjective questionnaire:

12 Evaluation of Pseudo- Accommodative LASIK Study I: (MZ vs Conv LASIK) Assess safety Randomized Bilateral Comparative study Multizone vs Conventional LASIK Study II: (MZ LASIK for presbyopia) Assess the efficacy, predictability & stability for near vision Bilateral non-randomized non-comparative study

13 Multizone vs Conventional LASIK Inclusion Criteria Age: 21 to 36 yrs Baseline SE: to 9.00 D Stable Refraction SCVA: 20/20 or better. Mesopic pupil diameter: < 7 mm.

14 Multizone vs Conventional LASIK Demographics 30 consecutive patients 60% females Mean age: 29 ± 5.4 yrs (21 to 37 yrs) Mean baseline SE: Multizone Group: ± 1.9 D (-1.64 to 8.64 D) Conventional Group: ± 1.9 D (-1.75 to 8.00 D) 22 patients completed 6 months follow up.

15 Predictability 22 patients, 1 Month Multizone Conventional

16 Predictability 22 patients, 6 Months (Enhancements included) Multizone Conventional

17 Enhancement Rate Multizone: 40.9% (9 / 22) Conventional: 4.5% (1 /22)

18 UCVA at 6 Months (Enhancements Included) /20 or better 20/30 or better 20/40 or better MZ Conv

19 Loss & Gain of SCVA 22 patients, 6 Months MZ Conv

20 Contrast-Sensitivity Average Curve Multizone Conventional

21 Contrast-Sensitivity with Glare Average Curve Multizone Conventional

22 Conclusion Mutizone Aspheric LASIK is: As effective as conventional LASIK for distant correction Does not compromise CS Does not increase night glare Conventional nomogram needs adjustment

61 Conclusion Multizone Multifocal LASIK: Effective in correction of far & near vision. Does not affect the quality of distant vision. Nomograms need refinement Larger series and longer follow up is needed.

62 Questions to Answer The theoretical 'peripheral near zone' model needs to be refined only the myopia/presbyopia group shows a peripheral near zone on OPD maps postop most of the hyp/presbyopia cases have a central near zone on OPD maps Long term stability Effect of pupil size on near vision Best ablation profile to minimize spherical aberrations
