N2 - PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes and safety of a refractive inlay (Flexivue Micro-Lens, Presbia Coöperatief U.A.) for the corneal compensation of presbyopia. METHODS: This prospective, interventional clinical study comprised 47 emmetropic presbyopes with a mean age of 52±4 years (range: 45 to 60 years). The inlay was inserted, centered on the line of sight, inside a corneal pocket created in the patient's nondominant eye, using a femtosecond laser. Follow-up was 12 months. Visual acuity, corneal topography, wavefront aberrometry, contrast sensitivity, structural corneal alterations, and questionnaires were evaluated. RESULTS: Twelve months after surgery, uncorrected near visual acuity was 20/32 or better in 75% of operated eyes, whereas mean uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of operated eyes was statistically signifi cantly decreased from 0.06±0.09 logMAR (20/20) (range: -0.08 to 0.26) preoperatively to 0.38±0.15 logMAR (20/50) (range: 0.12 to 0.8) (P
