About this study
Official title: A Prospective Study to Evaluate the Raindrop Near Vision Inlay in Presbyopes Implanted in Corneal Pockets With a Delayed or Non-Delayed Approach
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.
Read the 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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Raindrop Near Vision InlayDevice
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.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Delayed | Experimental | 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. Receives: Device: Raindrop Near Vision Inlay |
| Non-Delayed | Active comparator | Intervention: Raindrop Near Vision Inlay
In the non-delayed approach, the corneal pocket is created and inlay implanted on the same surgical day. Receives: Device: Raindrop Near Vision Inlay |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Uncorrected Visual Acuity
After the inlay procedure, patients will attain functional near acuity in the inlay eye and functional distance vision binocularly.
Measured: 24 Months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Incidence of Corneal Reaction
Patients implanted with a delayed approach will have minimal incidence of corneal reaction as compared with non-delayed implantation.
Measured: 24 Months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Raindrop Near Vision Inlay in people with Presbyopia, run by Eye Center of North Florida at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Aug 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Uncorrected Visual Acuity (time frame: 24 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Aug 2020.
