The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay is a biocompatible hydrogel corneal inlay. It is designed to be implanted under a femtosecond laser flap onto the stromal bed of the cornea, centered over a light-constricted pupil. The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay reshapes the central region of the cornea to provide a zone of increased power for focusing on near objects, resulting in improvement in near vision. The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay is supplied steam sterilized and pre-loaded in its delivery device, the Inlay Inserter. It is for single-use only.
A sterile implantable device inserted into the natural cornea to treat presbyopia [age-related hyperopia (far sightedness)] based on aperture reduction. It is typically made of plastic material and is shaped as a thin annulus (disc) formed to fit the curvature of the cornea; it includes a central opening that restricts the optical aperture of the eye to increase depth of field. It is intended for long-term implantation and is surgically inserted in an intrastromal pocket or flap made by a keratome or an appropriate laser.
