The manufacturing company of the Raindrop Corneal Inlay has stopped distribution or sales of the product.

The clinical objective of this study is to evaluate the Raindrop® Near Vision Inlay for the improvement of near vision in presbyopic or pseudophakic patients treated with low dose Mitomycin C immediately following femtosecond flap creation.

The scientific objective of this study is to evaluate the postoperative incidence of corneal reaction in patients treated with low dose Mitomycin C, immediately following femtosecond flap creation (LASIK correction if needed), and before implantation with the Raindrop corneal inlay in the non-dominant eye. The postoperative incidence of haze, visible by broad tangential illumination of the slit lamp, is known to adversely impact the safety and efficacy of the Raindrop corneal inlay. Three main strategies have been employed to minimize haze incidence after surgery: (i) perfection of the surgical technique, (ii) deeper implantation in the cornea, and (iii) extension of the steroid regimen after surgery. Haze has also been observed after another type of corneal refractive procedure, Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK). Several prospective studies have shown that Mitomycin C, applied immediately following the PRK laser procedure, is effective in reducing the postoperative incidence of haze.

4.3.5 Patients who would be co-managed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist who is not an approved sub-investigator.

4.3.6 Patients with ocular pathology or disease (including pupil pathology such as fixated pupils) that might confound the outcome or increase the risk of adverse event in the investigator's opinion.

4.3.7 Patients taking systemic or topical medications that might confound the outcome or increase the risk of adverse event. Patients taking isotretinoin or amiodarone hydrochloride and any other medication that affects the tear film or accommodation, including but not limited to, mydriatic, cycloplegic and mitotic agents, or any other medications in the investigator's opinion.
