Vision Improvement for Patients With Age-Related Macular Degeneration

1. Male or Female
2. Any race
3. Patient is at least 50 years old.
4. Patient has diagnosed dry or wet age-related macular degeneration in one or both eyes, as verified by a complete ocular examination by a retina specialist; the full ocular examination, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements, should be part of the patient's file.
5. Wet AMD eyes should have an inactive disease state (i.e., there is no clinical or OCT evidence of wet AMD disease activity).
6. Patient is pseudophakic or is phakic with no clinically significant cataract in eye(s) to be treated..
7. Patient has manifest refraction, spherical equivalent (MRSE) between -1.50 D to 1.50 D in eye(s) to be treated.
8. Patient has moderate to severe vision impairment due to dry age-related macular degeneration with best spectacle-corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) of 20/80 or worse (decimal = 0.25 or less; logMAR ≥ 0.60) in the better eye.
9. Patient has CDVA of 20/400 or better (decimal = 0.05 or greater; logMAR ≤ 1.30) in the worse eye.
10. Patient has normal corneal surface topography on videokeratography (i.e., without distorted or unclear corneal mires) in both eyes.
11. Patient is not a contact lens (CL) wearer.
12. Patient is willing and able to comply with all examinations.
13. Patient must be competent to sign an informed consent form before study entry.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Corneal disease or disorder in either eye;
2. Corneal topographic astigmatism greater than 2.00 D (mean value within 3.0 mm optical zone);
3. Pathological retinal morphology in either eye that completely affects the entire 10° (3 mm diameter) of the retina centered on the foveola (as evaluated by optical coherence tomography);
4. Potential Visual Acuity (PVA) in both eyes that is not improved by at least three lines compared to CDVA;
5. Increased intraocular pressure (above 20 mm Hg), glaucoma or history of glaucoma; and
6. Presence or history of any other condition or finding that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the patient unsuitable as a candidate for study participation or that may confound the outcome of the study.
