Eye implants could cause blurred vision

Warnings have been issued by government health officials against the use of an unregulated medical device promising to improve eyesight. The Ministry of Health and Prevention followed the lead of the US Food and Drug Administration to advise caution over the use of Raindrop Near Vision Inlay – a medical device produced by Optics Medical. Also known as the RVO 2.0 device, it is surgically implanted in the eyes to improve vision as an alternative to glasses and contact lenses. Anyone suffering side-effects from either product should contact the ministry on 02 301 44804 or email pv@moh.gov.ae.
