Official title
A Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Trial of the Implantable Miniature Telescope in Pseudophakic Eyes With Central Vision Impairment Associated With End-Stage Macular Degeneration.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
VisionCare's Implantable Miniature Telescope (IMT, intraocular telescope or telescope) is indicated for monocular implantation to improve vision in eyes of patients at least 65 years of age with severe to profound vision impairment caused by bilateral central scotomas associated with end-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Patients with end-stage AMD who have undergone bilateral cataract removal and intraocular lens placement are currently contraindicated for telescope surgery. These patients have no viable therapy available to improve their vision. The objective of the TES pilot study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of implanting the intraocular telescope for improving vision in patients with bilateral end-stage age- related macular degeneration who are pseudophakic.
