Summary

"This trial aims to test a new system called VIS Opti-K to help improve near vision in one eye for people with certain vision problems. The main focus is to see how well it works in improving

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with presbyopia, which is difficulty in reading or seeing at close range as they age. Participants should be slightly nearsighted, have normal vision (emmetropic), or be slightly farsighted. The treatment will focus on the non-dominant eye to improve near vision temporarily.
What is being tested?
The VIS Opti-K System is being tested for its ability to correct presbyopia by treating the non-dominant eye. This Phase III trial measures how well subjects can see up close without glasses after treatment and checks their satisfaction through a questionnaire.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort in the treated eye, changes in vision that could affect depth perception or cause glare and halos, especially at night, and possibly a need for retreatment if initial results fade over time.
