About

Single arm proof-of-concept trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the REVISYON PoC Device in the treatment of cataract.

Full description

Single arm, single site proof-of-concept trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the REVISYON PoC Device, with 8 x 15-minute twice-weekly treatments and 3 month safety follow-up, in the treatment of cataract.

Only one of the subject's eyes will be treated during the study. In addition, spectral data (fluorescent emission) will be collected using the device to monitor the progress of the treatment, and to determine the suitability of these measurements for future clinical diagnoses

Enrollment: 11 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 55 to 85 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Subject diagnosed with nuclear sclerotic (NS) lens opacities cataract, LOCS III grade 1 to 3 (moderate), as confirmed by the Investigator

3. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.3 or worse due to cataract only
4. Subject whom the medical health history has been reviewed by the Investigator and medical records do not contraindicate the participation to the study
5. Subject who is judged suitable for the study after ophthalmic examination carried out by the Investigator
6. Be able and willing to follow instructions, including participation in all study assessments and visits, according to the opinion of the investigator - including being able to sit upright for at least 20 mins (duration of the treatment)

8. Any condition which could interfere with the subject's ability to comply with the study including participation in all study assessments and visits.
9. Subject who had undergone a treatment using photodynamic drugs within the last 30 days. (Including but not limited to methylene blue, toluidine blue, Visudyne®, Foscan, Photofrin or 5-aminolevulinic acid/ALA)
10. Subject diagnosed with any other health condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would pose a safety risk to the subject by participating in the study, or may interfere with or jeopardise the study evaluation, procedures or completion
11. Subject currently receiving treatment in another investigational study or has completed another investigational study within the last 30 days
