Study summary

KAMRA inlay, to be unilaterally implanted into the cornea of a subject's non-dominant eye. The inlay is to be inserted into a stromal pocket created with a surgical femtosecond laser.

Read the detailed description

This is a post-approval study of the KAMRA inlay performance and potential device-related issues in a broader population over an extended period of time after pre-market establishment of reasonable safety and effectiveness.

Study objectives include:

  • Evaluate the long-term performance (effectiveness) and safety of the device;
  • Evaluate real-world performance of the device in subjects treated by refractive surgeons with a range of experience levels;
  • Evaluate the performance of the device in racial/ethnic subgroups representative of the population for which the device is intended.

In addition, the data from a subset of the first 105 subjects who have been enrolled in this study will be used to validate the KAMRA Inlay Patient Questionnaire (KIPQ) for the assessment of patients who have received the KAMRA inlay for the treatment of presbyopia.

Study population

Phakic, presbyopic patients between the ages of 45 and 60 years old who have cycloplegic refractive spherical equivalent of +0.50 diopters to -0.75 diopters with less than or equal to 0.75 diopters of refractive cylinder, who do not require glasses or contact lenses for clear distance vision, and who require near correction of +1.00 to +2.50 diopters of reading add.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Meet the indications for use for this device;
  2. Do not have any of the conditions described in the in the labeling of the device;
  3. Are willing and able to provide ;
  4. Are not participating in any other clinical studies during the course of the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject has insufficient ability to read or write that would prevent them from completing a questionnaire without help; or
  2. Subject is not a fluent speaker of U.S. English.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Monocular Near Visual Acuity

    Percentage of implanted eyes with monocular near visual acuity of 20/40 or better is greater than or equal to 75% of implanted eyes.

    Time frame: Five years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Best-corrected distance visual acuity

    Percentage of implanted eyes with a persistent loss of two or more lines of best-corrected distance visual acuity from baseline at the subject's last study visit is less than 5%.

    Time frame: Five years

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Jul 2018; primary completion for Jan 2026, 90 months later.

Of 35 observational studies under Presbyopia, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 24. This study's planned 90 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 18, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
