Executive Summary

  • Ocumetrics Technology Corp. reported one‑month postoperative visual acuity results for all patients in Group 1 of its first‑in‑human study of the Ocumetrics Accommodating Intraocular Lens.
  • All 20+ eyes examined achieved Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) ranging from 20/32 to 20/25, meeting or exceeding internal safety and efficacy expectations.
  • The company will proceed with Group 2 surgeries in the coming weeks, indicating continued momentum toward later‑stage clinical development.

Key Details

  • Study Design: First‑in‑human early feasibility study; Group 1 comprised surgeries performed on Day 1 (August 2025) and Day 2 (September 2025).
  • Primary Objectives for Group 1: Confirm safety, evaluate surgical technique, assess distance vision restoration.
  • One‑Month Outcomes:
  • CDVA results: 20/32 to 20/25 across all patients.
  • Patients entered the study with significantly impaired distance vision due to cataracts; visual gains observed as early as one month post‑op.
  • Safety & Performance: No adverse events reported in the release; lens demonstrated safe implantation and strong optical performance per investigators.
