Patients were examined before and 6 months after surgery for stereoacuity, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA).Results: The mean stereoacuity before surgery was 29.5±28.1 arcsec (range: 20–200) and at 6 months was 29.8±26.4 arcsec (range: 20–200). The decline in stereoacuity was not statistically significant. At 6 months follow-up, UDVA was 20/25 or better in all 60 patients and UNVA was J2 (20/25) or better in 51 (85%) patients.Conclusion: There is no significant change in stereoacuity following KAMRA inlay implantation. The KAMRA inlay is a good treatment option for improving near vision in presbyopic patients while preserving stereoacuity and distance vision.
