Clinical Trials and Investigations

VisionCare is currently evaluating the Implantable Miniature Telescope (IMT™ by Dr. Isaac Lipshitz) in a Phase II/III multi-center trial in the United States. The trial is designed to establish the safety and efficacy of the device in patients with moderate to profound central vision impairment due to stable age-related macular degeneration or Stargardt's disease affecting both eyes. The research trial is two years in duration.

Patient enrollment for the Phase II/III trial is complete. No further applications are being accepted for this trial. Information on additional clinical trials, when available, will be posted on this page. If you would like to sign up to be considered for future trials and to receive periodic updates on the progress of the technology, please fill out the web form at the end of this page. Thank you for your interest.
