1.1.19 Patients with any type of active cancer (ophthalmic or non-ophthalmic). 1.1.20 Patients with uncontrolled infections of any kind. 1.1.21 Patients who are pregnant, lactating, of child-bearing potential and not practicing a medically approved method of birth control, or planning to become pregnant during the course of the trial, and patients with other conditions associated with fluctuation of hormones that could lead to refractive changes.

1.1.22 Patients who actively participate in contact sports (i.e., boxing, martial arts) where impacts to the face and eye are a normal occurrence.

1.1.23 Patients participating in any other ophthalmic or non-ophthalmic drug/device clinical trials during the time of this clinical investigation.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Delayed

Non-Delayed

Arm Description

Intervention: Raindrop Near Vision Inlay In the delayed approach, the corneal pocket is created and dissected but the corneal inlay is not implanted. After one to three months, the corneal inlay is implanted on a second surgical day.

Intervention: Raindrop Near Vision Inlay In the non-delayed approach, the corneal pocket is created and inlay implanted on the same surgical day.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Uncorrected Visual Acuity
After the inlay procedure, patients will attain functional near acuity in the inlay eye and functional distance vision binocularly.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Incidence of Corneal Reaction
Patients implanted with a delayed approach will have minimal incidence of corneal reaction as compared with non-delayed implantation.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the Raindrop® Near Vision Inlay for the improvement of near vision in presbyopes implanted in corneal pockets with a delayed or a non-delayed approach.
Detailed Description
Patients must be presbyopic with a reading add from +1.5 to +2.5 D, and both emmetropes (MRSE from -0.5 to +0.5 D) as well as ametropes (requiring concurrent LASIK) are included in the investigation. In the non-delayed approach, the corneal pocket is created and inlay implanted on the same surgical day. In the delayed approach, the corneal pocket is created and dissected but the corneal inlay is not implanted. After one to three months, the corneal inlay is implanted on a second surgical day.

Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Raindrop Near Vision Inlay
Intervention Description
The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay was approved by the US FDA in June of 2016 for the improvement of near vision in presbyopic emmetropes. Raindrop is a clear device made of a hydrogel material and resembles a microscopic contact lens; it is the first implantable device that changes the shape of the cornea to correct the refractive errors that cause near vision problems.
