Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders [Month 6 after second eye implantation]
Distance VA and near VA were measured binocularly (both eyes together) without visual correction using ETDRS (Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study) charts positioned at a consistent, manufactured distance. VA was measured in logMAR (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution), with a lower logMAR value indicating better visual acuity. A responder was defined as a participant who achieved bilateral uncorrected distance visual acuity and bilateral uncorrected near visual acuity of ≤0.1 LogMAR at the Month 6 visit.
- Proportion of Participants Reporting Spectacle Independence at All Distances [Month 6 after second eye implantation]
Spectacle independence at all distances; ie, where type of spectacles used/prescribed equaled 'No spectacles', was evaluated. If for the 6-month visit, spectacle type information was missing for the spectacle independence endpoint, but the subject attended this 6-month visit, subject was assumed to be spectacle independent.
- Mean Vision-Related Quality of Life as Reported on the NEI-RQL 42 (5 Dimensions) [Month 6 after second eye implantation]
Vision-related quality of life dimensions were evaluated using the National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life instrument (NEI-RQL 42), a self-administered questionnaire. Each dimension was scored between 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better vision-related Quality of Life. 5 of the dimensions were prespecified as primary.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Median Total Spectacle Cost Prior to Any Reimbursement [Month 6 after second eye implantation]
Total spectacle cost includes the frame, lens, and any reimbursement from national health systems or private insurance. Costs collected in pounds sterling were converted to euros.
