An interventional study of EDOF ICL in Presbyopia, sponsored by Staar Surgical Company. Completed at 6 sites in 2 countries. Open to participants aged 40 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-16.
Sponsored by Staar Surgical Company · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study will evaluate the clinical performance of a phakic intraocular lens (IOL) for the improvement of Uncorrected Near Visual Acuity (UCNVA) in subjects who require between +1.00 and +2.50 Reading Add.
This is a prospective, open-labeled, multi-site evaluation of clinical performance of the STAAR EVO+ Visian™ Implantable Collamer® Lens (VICL) with Aspheric (EDOF) Optic [EDOF ICL] for the improvement of UCNVA in subjects who require between +1.00 and +2.50 Reading Add.
Approximately 48 subjects who meet all eligibility criteria will undergo EDOF ICL implantation in both eyes. All eyes will be followed for 6 months after surgery.
The first eye implanted with the study lens and the appropriate time for fellow eye implantation will be determined by the medical judgement of the Investigator. All eyes will be analyzed for safety and performance.
The primary performance endpoint is defined as achievement of monocular UCNVA of Snellen equivalent 20/40 or better at 40 cm at 6 months after implantation in equal to or greater than 75% of implanted eyes.

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.
Current contact lens wearers need to demonstrate a stable refraction, (± 0.5 D), expressed as MRSE, on two consecutive examination dates with refractive stability determined by the following criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
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.
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.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

EDOF ICL implanted into both eyes of eligible subjects.
Device: EDOF ICL
The Visian ICL is intended to be implanted within the posterior chamber, directly behind the iris, and in front of the anterior capsule of the human crystalline lens. It offers an intraocular alternative for the correction of refractive error in those who currently utilize spectacle and/or contact lenses correction.

Ran from Mar 2018 to primary completion in Jul 2019, 15 months.
Results were first posted in Sep 2022, 3 years 2 months after primary completion. A results delay was requested in Jul 2020.
Of 87 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Presbyopia, half reached primary completion within 6 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 19. This study's 15 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 129 studies reached it within 10 months; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 23.
