Subjects with willingness to wear monofocal correction to achieve photopic, binocular CDVA of 20/32 or better during the study (if required). 6. Subjects who are able to understand and give voluntary, written informed consent to participate in this clinical investigation and from whom written consent has been obtained. 7. Subjects shall be willing and able to understand and comply with the requirements of the study, administer the study medication as instructed, return for the required treatment period visits, comply with therapy prohibitions, and be able to complete the study. 8. Female Subjects, of child-bearing potential practicing an acceptable method of birth control such as sexual abstinence, intrauterine device IUD, birth control pills, a double-barrier method, transdermal, injection or implants, non-hormonal or hormonal, condom plus spermicide, diaphragm plus spermicide, or vaginal spermicidal suppository; for the duration of the study as judged by the investigator(s)/study physician and agree to follow the same should be used during treatment OR Postmenopausal for at least 1 year OR Surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation/bilateral oophorectomy/ hysterectomy has been performed on the Subject).

Exclusion criteria

Subjects with History of cataract surgery, phakic intraocular lens surgery, corneal inlay surgery, radial keratotomy, or any other intraocular surgery. However, Subjects with history of Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with CDVA meeting inclusion criteria will be allowed to enrol. 3.

Subjects with corneal abnormalities (including Keratoconus, corneal scar, Fuch’s endothelial dystrophy, guttata or edema) in either eye that are likely to interfere the visual acuity. 9. Subjects with history of iris trauma, Adie’s tonic pupil, abnormal pupil shape in either eye, or anisocoria >1mm between pupils under mesopic conditions at the screening visit. 10. Subjects with all grades of cataract. 11. Subjects with diagnosis of Glaucoma or ocular Hypertension. 12. Subjects with Bifocal or multifocal spectacles or contact lenses for habitual correction. 13.
