Electronic retinal implants such as the PRIMA system bypass damaged cells to restore partial central vision, bringing ...

For decades, treatments for macular degeneration have focused on slowing, not restoring vision loss. A new retinal implant is flipping that script, turning patients with geographic atrophy into ...

A tiny wireless chip placed at the back of the eye is giving people with severe vision loss something they had been told they ...

Argus II is a novel healthcare technology that restores vision in RP patients. Improvements in visual acuity are expected to lead to improvements in patient self-confidence, decreasing their ...

In the past, patients who were blind from retinitis pigmentosa or other hereditary photoreceptor diseases had very few options. The Argus® II Retinal Prosthesis System (Second Sight Medical Products ...

Scientists at USC are launching a new trial to test a tiny stem cell implant that could restore vision in people with ...

For the first time, researchers have restored some vision to people with a common type of eye disease by using a prosthetic retinal implant. If approved for broader use in the future, the treatment ...

A small wireless chip and a pair of smart glasses are offering new hope to people who thought they’d never read again. The groundbreaking device, called PRIMA, has partially restored vision in people ...

A clinical trial led by Stanford University School of Medicine has demonstrated that a wireless retinal prosthesis can help restore vision lost to advanced macular degeneration. The results, published ...

The Argus II, a “bionic eye”, is intended to provide electrical stimulation of the retina to elicit visual perception in blind subjects with severe to profound retinitis pigmentosa, according to the ...

A major therapeutic challenge, the retinal prostheses that have been under development during the past ten years can enable some blind subjects to perceive light signals, but the image thus restored ...
