Presbia Completes Second Stage Enrollment in the US FDA Pivotal Study of Presbia Flexivue Microlens™

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Presbia PLC (NASDAQ: LENS), an ophthalmic device company and leader in near vision restoration announced that it has completed the second stage enrollment of its U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pivotal study, a significant milestone in the FDA approval process of its Presbia Flexivue Microlens™.

In February, Presbia received FDA approval to commence the second stage pivotal study of its Microlens, which required enrollment of 337 qualified subjects. As the study ramped-up, the majority of the patients were enrolled in less than five months, meeting Presbia's target to complete the required enrollment by the end of the third quarter.

"Completing the second stage enrollment of our pivotal study is an important milestone in advancing our goal of obtaining FDA approval," said Todd Cooper, President and CEO of Presbia. "Securing FDA approval will allow us to provide the Presbia Flexivue Microlens to U.S. consumers as a safe and effective treatment option for presbyopia."

The many surgeons who participated in the study were equally impressed with the rapid enrollment. "Presbia's professionalism in handling the study enrollment as well as its well-documented procedures made this a process that ran seamlessly," commented Dr. Robert Maloney, Presbia's primary medical monitor and investigator participating in the Presbia study, and a surgeon at Maloney Vision Institute, Los Angeles, CA.

The Presbia Flexivue Microlens, a revolutionary optical lens implant for treating presbyopia, the age-related loss of near vision, has been commercially available in the European Union and other countries around the world where it has obtained regulatory approvals.
