Study summary

A. The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate outcomes of aphakic eyes implanted with the IC-8 IOL following cataract removal in prior inlay patients after KAMRA inlay removal.

B. The secondary purpose of the study is to determine whether there are any changes in biometry measurements before and after the inlay removal and how the changes affect the calculated IOL power.

Read the detailed description

This will be a prospective study in which no more than 20 subjects will be implanted with IC-8 IOL following the removal of the KAMRA inlay. The refractive target of the IC-8 eye will be -0.75 D MRSE.

Subjects will be screened for eligibility and consented before enrolled. Following enrollment, the inlay will be removed, and the eye will be monitored for corneal and refractive stability before the implantation of the IC-8 IOL. Corneal stability is defined as keratometry readings in each meridian within ± 0.50 D, and/or the stability of the corneal topography as determined by the principal investigator, over two consecutive visits at least two weeks apart. Refractive stability is defined as manifest refractive sphere and cylinder measurements that are each within ± 0.50 D over two consecutive visits at least two weeks apart, or based on investigator judgment. When corneal and refractive stability are achieved, the IC-8 IOL will be implanted following cataract extraction by phacoemulsification.

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

i. Subjects must sign and be given a copy of the form. ii. Subjects with BCDVA of 20/40 or worse, or significant visual symptoms/complaints as a result of cataract in the study eye.

iii. Subjects must be > 45 years of age at the time of screening. iv. Subjects must be willing and able to return for scheduled follow up examinations for 12 months after surgery.

v. Subjects who underwent uneventful KAMRA inlay implantation and who currently still have the inlay in the eye.

vi. Potential visual acuity following cataract removal and IOL implantation projected to be 0.8 or better (Snellen 20/25) as determined by diagnostic testing or investigator's medical judgment.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

i. Patients who had any type of intraocular surgery or refractive surgery (with the exception of KAMRA inlay implantation).

ii. Requiring an intraocular lens outside the available power range of +15.5 to +27.5 diopters.

iii. Pharmacologically dilated pupil size less than 6 mm or the presence of any pupil abnormalities (aniridia, non-reactive, fixed, or abnormally shaped pupils) or marked microphthalmos.

iv. Preoperative corneal astigmatism > 1.5 diopters (as determined by corneal topography or keratometry in either eye) or irregular corneal astigmatism.

v. Corneal abnormalities such as stromal, epithelial or endothelial dystrophies, or diagnosed degenerative visual disorders (e.g., macular degeneration or other retinal disorders) that are predicted to cause visual acuity losses to a level of 0.8 or worse during the study.

vi. Active or recurrent anterior segment pathology (chronic uveitis, iritis, iridocyclitis, rubeosis iridis, etc.).

vii. Glaucoma suspect, uncontrolled ocular hypertension, or history of glaucomatous changes in the retina or visual field.

viii. Subjects with uncontrolled systemic disease. ix. Subjects with previous retinal pathology in either eye.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

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.

    Device: IC-8 IOL

Interventions

  • DeviceIC-8 IOL

    The AcuFocus IC-8 intraocular lens (IC-8 IOL) is a one-piece hydrophobic acrylic posterior chamber IOL into which a circular mask with a small 1.36 mm central aperture has been embedded. The IOL mask works by extending the depth of focus and its design is based on the KAMRA corneal inlay, which operates under the principle of small aperture optics.

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

Ran from Dec 2017 to primary completion in Jun 2022, 54 months.

Of 190 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Cataract, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 28. This study's 54 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 490 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 28.

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 10, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
