Participants needed for eye study

POWERVISION Inc, a private medical device company is currently recruiting participants to take part in the Orion Clinical Study for a new, advanced Intraocular Lens (IOL).

To qualify to participate in the study, participants have to be at least 50 years of age and be diagnosed with cataract in both eyes.

They must also meet the following key requirements:

No previous eye surgery or trauma in both eyes, no other systemic or ocular diseases like glaucoma , diabetes or age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Participants should be willing and physically capable of wearing contact lenses.

If required, the participant should be willing and able to comply with a schedule for follow-up visits for six months after surgery.

The Orion Study will determine if the FluidVision AIOL will allow patients who undergo cataract surgery to see distant objects as clearly as with a standard lens, and also to see near objects more clearly than with a standard lens.

Eligible participants will receive a FluidVision AIOL in one eye and a standard lens, the Alcon AcrySof® IQ Monofocal IOL in the other eye.

What is a cataract and how it is usually treated?

With age, the natural crystalline lens within the eye may become opaque (cloudy) and no longer allows enough light to pass through to permit the eye to focus properly.

In traditional cataract surgery, the natural lens inside the eye is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL).

Conventional IOLs are monofocal lenses, meaning they are designed to provide good visual acuity at a single focal point, usually far away for good distance vision.

Therefore, some patients may still require reading glasses.
