Early Feasibility Study Using IOPCL MAG to Improve Near Vision in ARMD Subjects

Prior treatment

• Subjects who have already had cataract surgery with a toric or multifocal or accommodating Intraocular Lens.
• Subjects who have already had cataract surgery with an Alcon SN60WF or SA60AT monofocal intraocular lens with a power below 17.0 diopters and greater than 24.0 diopters.
• Subjects who were treated with an IOL off-label.
• Subjects whose continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis was less than 5mm or more than 6.0 mm in size at the time of IOL surgery.
• Subjects who had cataract surgery less than 6 months from the planned date of the IOPCL surgery.
• Subjects with a concomitant retinal or choroidal disorder other than AMD.
• Subjects with a previous retinal detachment.

Other illness

• Subjects with a known history of pseudoexfoliation.
• Subjects with acute, chronic or uncontrolled systemic or ocular disease that in the opinion of the investigator would increase the operative risk or confound the outcome(s) of the study.
• Subjects with medications that, in the opinion of the investigator, may confound the outcome or increase the risk to the subject (tamsulosin hydrochloride (Flomax)) or other medications with similar side effects (floppy iris syndrome).
• Subjects with cognitive impairment that may interfere with the ability to understand the potentially complex considerations underlying an informed decision on trial participation and/or interfere with the ability to neuro-adapt to this device in the postoperative period.

Other

• Subjects with neovascular (wet) AMD.
• Subjects who have not had an Nd: YAG capsulotomy.
• Subjects who have more than 1.0D of corneal cylinder determined by Keratometry readings.
• Subjects with anterior capsule fibrosis and phimosis that in the opinion of the investigator may confound the outcome or increase the risk to the subject.
• Subjects who do not gain at least 10 letters of near visual acuity with the simulation/tolerance testing (using manifest refraction with +7.0D add) compared to conventional near vision testing (using manifest refraction with +3.0D add).
• Subjects with any corneal abnormality, other than regular corneal astigmatism that in the opinion of the investigator would confound the outcome(s) of the study.
• Subjects with clinically severe corneal dystrophy (e.g., epithelial, stromal, or endothelial dystrophy).
• Subjects with microphthalmos.
• Subjects with a recurrent severe anterior or posterior segment inflammation of unknown etiology.
• Subjects with iris neovascularization.
• Subjects with glaucoma.
• Subjects with advanced visual field defects (e.g., central large scotoma where magnification would not help).
• Subjects with a fundus not visible.
• Subjects with aniridia.
• Subjects with advanced optic nerve atrophy.
• Subjects with damaged or incomplete zonules.

• Subjects aged 55 years or older.
• Subjects who have already had cataract surgery with an Alcon SN60WF or SA60AT monofocal intraocular lens with a lens power between 17.0 diopters and 24.0 diopters clearly evidenced by photographic documentation by one of the following:
  • patient medical record
  • clinic chart with labeling attached
  • surgical record with labeling attached, or
  • patient identification card with make, model and serial number.
• Subjects who have already had cataract surgery at least 6 months from the planned date of the IOPCL surgery.
• Subjects who have had a Nd: YAG capsulotomy at least 1 month prior to the planned date of the IOPCL surgery.
• Subjects with non-neovascular dry AMD meeting the following criteria:
  • No change in Amsler Grid test within the past 12 months
  • No subretinal fluid or macular hemorrhage confirmed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.
  • No fundoscopic changes within the past 12 months (i.e., changes in retinal pigment epithelium).
• Subjects with best corrected distance visual acuity from 20/80 to 20/800.
• Subjects with a preoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) of +1.0D to -1.0D.
• Subjects with ≤1.0D of corneal cylinder determined by keratometry readings.
• Subjects who are unsatisfied with their current near vision correction provided by either spectacles or external magnifier.
• Subjects who demonstrate at least 10 letters of near visual acuity improvement with the simulation/tolerance test (using manifest refraction with +7.0D add) compared to conventional near vision testing (using manifest refraction with +3.0D add).
• Subjects with a minimum endothelial cell count of 1800 cells/mm2.
• Subjects willing to abstain from pursuing any other surgical vision-correcting procedures for the duration of the study.
• Subjects who are willing and able to complete all required postoperative visits.
• Subjects who are able to comprehend and sign a statement of informed consent.
