The KAMRA\u2122 inlay treatment is an exciting new eye procedure that restores near vision and frees you from the constant frustrations of reading glasses<\/strong>. The KAMRA inlay sits in the first few layers of the eye known as the cornea. Smaller and thinner than a contact lens, the KAMRA inlay is a mini-ring with an opening \u2014 or pinhole \u2014 in the center. The inlay uses this pinhole to focus light coming into the eye. This restores near vision while maintaining distance vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pepose Vision Institute is proud to be the first practice to implant the KAMRA in Missouri and the bi-state area.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KAMRA treats near vision loss<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our 40s and 50s, we begin to experience the naturally frustrating effects of blurry near vision. Reading the newspaper, seeing the computer screen or sending a text message becomes a struggle. We end up depending more and more on reading glasses or contact lenses to see up close. This natural loss of reading vision is called presbyopia, and it eventually affects all of us, even if we never needed vision correction before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Causes Presbyopia?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The eye\u2019s natural lens is normally elastic and flexible. It works like a camera lens to automatically adjust and focus our vision. This lets us automatically switch our gaze from something near to something far away. Over time, the lens in your eye begins to stiffen. It can\u2019t bend into the right shapes to bring close objects into clear focus. To compensate, you end up moving objects further away to help your eye to focus. Presbyopia continues to progress over time. For example, someone who is 45 may only notice it when trying to read tiny print in low light. However, someone who is 50 may need to use reading glasses many times throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does the KAMRA inlay help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The KAMRA inlay treatment is an eye procedure that restores near vision and frees you from the constant frustrations of reading glasses. The KAMRA inlay sits in the first few layers of the eye known as the cornea. Smaller and thinner than a contact lens, the KAMRA inlay is a mini-ring with an opening \u2014 or pinhole \u2014 in the center. The inlay uses this pinhole to focus light coming into the eye. This restores near vision while maintaining distance vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
