PHAKORESTORATION
Kejako focus on early treatment to maintain visual accommodation by offering a personalized anti-aging laser treatment called ”Phakorestoration”.
A solution for presbyopia has been described as ophthalmology’s “Holy Grail”
(OIS, Dec. 2018 & OFF, Sep.2019)
AN INNOVATIVE PRESBYOPIA TREATMENT
Phakorestoration has multiple key benefits :
- Treat the root causes of Presbyopia
- Real accomodation, again
- No cuts, no clear lens extraction
- Comfortable near vision for midlifers, without reading glasses.
- Tailored to patient’s vision thanks to our simulation expertise and proprietary numerical model that fits the eye’s biometry
- Maintains visual accommodation throughout the whole aging process – from the first symptoms of presbyopia until the development of cataracts.
A SURGERY THAT ADRESS THE ROOT OF PRESBYOPIA
Presbyopia is the progressive loss of visual accommodation with age. The accommodative amplitude is directly related to the ability of the crystalline lens to change its shape, that’s why it appears in midlife, as soon as the crystalline becomes stiff.
Phakorestoration focus on rejuvenating the lens material itself through a laser treatment. By softening the lens tissues through a particular pattern, the lens to deform again, allowing to retrieve a comfortable accommodation amplitude for daily life activity.
LOWER INVASIVITY
On the contrary of intra ocular implants, Phakoestoration does not need to extract surgically the lens, nor to open the cornea or create cuts. The material change are performed in situ by a femtosecond laser, the light passing through the cornea and focusing in the lens.
The laser energy is only focused inside the crystalline lens, allowing to retrieve the properties lost while aging. Everywhere else in the eye, the laser is completely defocused, ensuring no interaction with the retina or the cornea.
PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY
Phakorestoration improved lens curvature change by an average of 30% which is transpose in an increase of the available amplitude of accommodation by +1.5 diopters (+60% of the residual accommdative power).
Calibrated with pre-operative imaging, the laser energy is distributed following the biometry of the lens, whatever the size, position or shape of the lens. In addition, high-quality histology and imaging are proving that the laser interaction is locally changing crystalline lens structure as predicted by our computer model.
In vivo safety trials already demonstrate the perfect health of the cornea and retina after surgery in 100% of the cases.
CUSTOMISED BY NUMERICAL SIMULATION
Kejako has developped the most comprehensive and performant model of the accommodation process. This numerical simulation adapts to the patient biometry and state of presbyopia to predict the optimal pattern of treatment and predict the performance.
