Raindrop Near Vision Inlay Reshapes Cornea to Help Eye Focus
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/...-in-cornea.jpghttp://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/.../eye-inlay.jpg The FDA issued approval to ReVision Optics, a company out of Lake Forest, CA, for its Raindrop Near Vision Inlay, a device designed to reshape the cornea to help people with presbyopia see nearby objects. The tiny hydrogel device is implanted in an outpatient procedure. It looks like a contact lens, but is only 2mm in width and 32 micrometers in thickness. A laser is used to create a flap within the cornea and position the Raindrop under it. The new shape of the cornea helps the eye adjust and focus, essentially doing something that a healthy*eye should be doing on its own. It was tested in a clinical trial of almost 400 people who received the implant, demonstrating that 92% of patients who were evaluated had 20/40 or better vision at near distances two years after the procedures. It’s intended for people 41 to 65 years old who have **t had cataract surgery, but who really don’t like wearing reading glasses.
