The FDA recently approved a device implanted in the cornea of one eye to improve near vision in certain patients with presbyopia, a condition associated with aging in which the eye progressively loses the ability to focus on near objects.
The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay is the second FDA-approved implantable corneal device for correction of near vision in patients who haven’t had cataract surgery and the first implantable device that changes the shape of the cornea to achieve improved vision.
