Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The frequency and severity of all treatment-related adverse events, during and after implantation of the EndoArt* and throughout the 6 month follow-up period. Adverse events will be assessed on a continuous basis from the procedure through the study completion at 6 months. Related adverse events include: corneal perforation, melting, uncontrolled inflammation, severe infection. | — |
