Corneal inlay induces transient increase in corneal resistance factor, corneal hysteresis
The implantation of a small-aperture corneal inlay does not cause a permanent change in corneal hysteresis or corneal resistance factor, according to a study.The retrospective study included 34 patients who underwent Kamra (AcuFocus) implantation. Inlays were implanted in the patient’s nondominant eye, and fellow eyes served as controls. Corneal hysteresis, corneal resistance factor, Goldmann-correlated IOP, corneal-compensated IOP and IOP measured with Goldmann applanation tonometry were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at week 1 and months 1, 3 and 6.
