13. New Category Device
and Procedure
• Medical Device: the telescope is entirely different from an IOL treats AMD (and not cataract)
• Procedure: Implanting the telescope is entirely different from
inserting an IOL

14. Mechanism of Action
Scarred Macula
Telescope Implant
Central Visual Field Projection (Natural Lens/IOL)
Central Visual Field Projection
CAT

CAT
15. Implantation Technique
• No new equipment
• Device is not an IOL
• 12 mm limbal incision &
large capsulorrhexis
• Posterior direction and
OVDs critical to avoid
corneal touch

20. Phase II/III IMT002 Trial
(2002 – 2004)
• Prospective, 28 US centers
• Multi-disciplinary approach
– “Vision training” 6 visits over first 3 months
• 217 visually impaired patients enrolled
– Mean Age 76 years
– Mean BCVA 20/316 (range: 20/80 – 20/800)
• Follow-Up
– 12 months: n=194 of 206 implanted
IOL instead of telescope prosthesis)
(11 received
– 24 months: n=174 of 206 implanted

21. One-Year Results Summary
Efficacy
• FDA VA endpoint met
– 90% ≥ 2 lines vs. 50% required
• 67% improved ≥ 3 lines BCDVA
– vs. 10% of control fellow eyes (p<.0001)
• Improved quality of life
– VFQ increase 7-14 points (relevant subscales)
Safety
• Preservation of vision: 95%
• Endothelial cell density >17% target
• Implant well tolerated in eye

22. IMT Restores Functional Sight in Blind Patients
(5-year follow-up data)
• Pre-IMT vision of 20/320 or worse (statutory blindness)
• Significant & sustained improvements in vision (long-term)
FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
BCDVA = Best-Corrected Distance Visual Acuity

{"16":"Attention should be paid to the following surgical considerations:\nProper incision construction. \nA capsulorhexis of 7 mm. This allows easier positioning of the device into the capsular bag because of the slightly stiffer haptics of this lens.\nAppropriate OVD use to coat the endothelium and deepen the chamber. \nLifting the cornea without folding/tenting and inserting device at 45 degree angle to minimize risk of corneal touch.\nMinimizing intraocular instrument manipulation.\nPlacing the loops in the capsular bag, rotating the haptics to 12 and 6 o’clock.\nCareful attention to wound integrity to maintain anterior chamber. \n","11":"Here is the field of view of a wide field external telescope. How much visual information do we have? What are we looking at?\n","12":"Implantable telescope field of view has 4X the area of an external telescope. Simply put, you can see more in the visual field. Here you could see you are looking at a fire station somewhere in the US and the weather is nice. Not so with the external telescope field of view in a static gaze. \n","18":"1. Patients Use… BOLD ONLY and highlight DIST & NEAR\n2. Cosmetic appearance\n","19":"Trial sites – many post-FDA approval centers\n","36":"FURTHER BREAKOUT COMPLICATIONS \nFDA approval included 5-years of safety follow up\nInflammatory deposits\nAgain, Corneal decomp is the most significant risk (5 cases): truest measure of corneal health, and treatments availablek\nExplants: note Stargardt’s contraindicated on FDA label due to small sample and explant rate.\nFYI: Other = 2 device failures and 2 cornea transplants with device removal\nNo retina issues >1% – no retinal detachments, only 1 occurrence of CNV, 1 PCO treated by pars plana capsulotomy \nThe fundus with a 90D lens and by diagnostics such as UBM\n","25":"Explain program is MULTIDISCIPLINARY based on learning from our trial and investigator experience\nPut together by clinical investigators, visual scientists, and VisionCare; some information has been published in the literature.\n","14":"MOA TWO WAYS TO DESCRIBE IT\nFirst – magnifying image so effective size of scotoma appears smaller\n","20":"Did not have in the protocol the formalized visual rehabilitation program we will have in this trial. Only had 13 patients in the Phase I trial, so did not have the experiences to develop a formalized program for IMT002. \n","37":"TO CONCLUDE: \n1. CAN BE LIFE CHANGING IN APPROPRIATE SELECTED PTS --- VCOT LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU.\n","26":"Main areas and suggested sequence of the preop screening for proper pt selection\nReferrals come from: retina clinic, low vision clinic, public awareness program, ophthalmic community, other.\n","15":"No new capital equip, difference is technique\n"}
