Ocumetics Reports Promising Early Results for Accommodating Intraocular Lens

Ocumetics Technology Corp. has reported encouraging one-month safety and vision performance results for the first Group 1 patients receiving the Ocumetics Accommodating Intraocular Lens. The early clinical outcomes demonstrate promising safety profiles and visual performance, with initial patients achieving functional distance vision of 20/40 or better without glasses and showing encouraging signs of near vision performance with no complications.

Dean Burns, President and CEO of Ocumetics Technology Corp., described this as a historic milestone for both the company and ophthalmology as a whole. The safety profile and visual outcomes observed at this early stage align with company expectations, providing a strong foundation for continued clinical progress. These early outcomes highlight the transformative potential of the Ocumetics Lens in advancing vision correction technology.

Dr. Doyle Stulting, Chief Medical Officer of Ocumetics, expressed excitement about the initial results. After one month, patients are already achieving significant vision improvements without complications, giving the medical team confidence that outcomes will continue to improve in the coming months. The company emphasizes that while these early results are promising, continued improvement is expected as patients adapt and the clinical program advances.

Dr. Garth Webb, Chief Scientist and Founder of Ocumetics, noted that this moment represents the culmination of decades of research and innovation. The company's vision has always been to restore natural, seamless vision across all distances, and seeing these early clinical results come to life is incredibly inspiring. The Ocumetics Lens is designed to fit within the natural lens compartment of the eye, potentially eliminating the need for corrective lenses by allowing the eye's natural muscle activity to shift focus from distance to near.

The company's first-in-human clinical protocol was strategically designed to enroll three patient groups, with one-month evaluations focusing on key areas including safety determination, surgical technique evaluation, and distance vision correction assessment. Ocumetics remains committed to its mission of offering patients clear, continuous vision without dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The company is in the first-in-human early feasibility study phase of what could be a game-changing technology for the ophthalmic industry.
