Clinical Study of a Fluid Accommodating Intraocular Lens (IOL) Design

Randomized Controlled Study of Fluid Accommodating IOL Outcomes Versus Monofocal Control

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the surgical, refractive, and visual outcomes with implantation of an investigational intraocular lens (IOL).

In this study, eligible subjects will receive cataract surgery with IOL implantation in both eyes. IOL implantation in the second eye is intended to occur between 7 and 15 days after IOL implantation in the first eye. Subjects will be followed for 1 year after implantation.

This study will enroll 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 subjects will be randomized to receive either the test IOL (BAL-FAIOL) or the control IOL (Monofocal). Cohort 2 subjects will receive the test IOL only (BAL-FAIOL). Cohort 2 will follow Cohort 1.

This study will be conducted in Central America.
