AMD : a new implant should help recover some vision
We’ve heard a lot about age-related macular degeneration, AMD.
This is a leading cause of low vision after 50 years. One million French people suffer from it. And it is very disabling because you can not read or even recognize faces.
French regulators approve human trial of a bionic eye for vision loss from advanced atrophic dry AMD
Five people
with severe vision loss will have an experimental chip implanted in their eyes
to help them see. The 2 x 2 millimeter square implant is 30 microns thick, about
a third of the thickness of a human hair. French regulators last week approved
the trial of the bionic vision implant, which will be placed in people with an
advanced type of retinal disease called dry age-related macular degeneration,
or dry AMD.
