Scientists at USC are testing a tiny stem cell-based retinal implant in a phase 2b clinical trial to potentially restore vision in patients with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration, building on earlier promising safety and efficacy results.
Researchers at USC are conducting a phase 2b clinical trial to test a stem cell-derived retinal implant aimed at reversing damage caused by dry age-related macular degeneration, potentially restoring vision in affected patients.
A North Carolina-based company, Precise Bio, successfully performed the first human cornea transplant using 3D-printed, lab-grown tissue, marking a major breakthrough in regenerative ophthalmology and potentially addressing the global shortage of donor corneas.
A new wireless retinal implant called PRIMA shows promise in restoring central vision in patients with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD), specifically geographic atrophy, with over 80% of trial participants experiencing meaningful improvements in visual acuity and reading ability after one year, although further research is needed to assess long-term safety and efficacy.
A new combined implant and augmented reality glasses system called PRIMA has successfully restored reading ability to patients with untreatable macular degeneration, marking a significant advancement in artificial vision technology, with promising results from a European clinical trial involving 38 patients.
A new tiny retinal implant called PRIMA has shown promising results in helping people with advanced age-related macular degeneration regain some central vision, marking a significant step toward restoring sight in cases previously considered irreversible.
A new solar-powered retinal implant combined with AI-enhanced glasses has successfully restored reading vision in patients with dry age-related macular degeneration, marking a significant breakthrough in artificial vision technology and offering hope for those with untreatable blindness.
A small clinical trial demonstrates that a combination of surgically implanted chips and augmented-reality glasses can help some patients with age-related macular degeneration regain the ability to read, showing promising results despite current limitations such as black-and-white vision and uncertain long-term effectiveness.
A groundbreaking implant called the PRIMA system has successfully restored central vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration, allowing many to read again, marking a significant advancement in vision loss treatment.
Several patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) regained partial vision using a retinal implant paired with smart glasses, allowing them to perform tasks like reading and puzzles, with an 80% success rate in a clinical trial.
A study shows that a tiny wireless eye implant combined with special glasses can help some patients with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration regain the ability to read, representing a significant breakthrough in vision restoration technology, despite some risks and limitations.
Scientists have developed an eye implant that significantly improves vision in patients with advanced age-related macular degeneration, with 81% experiencing meaningful improvements, marking a major breakthrough in restoring central vision for the blind.
A new microchip implant developed at Moorfields Eye Hospital has enabled five patients with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration to regain some central vision, allowing them to read and perform daily tasks, representing a significant breakthrough in vision restoration technology.
A 34-year-old man in Canada with severe eye damage underwent a rare and innovative procedure called tooth-in-eye surgery, where a removed tooth was implanted in his eye to restore vision, resulting in significant improvement to 20/30 vision.
Brent Chapman, a 34-year-old Canadian, became the first in his country to receive a rare tooth-in-eye prosthetic, an osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis, which has restored his vision after two decades of blindness caused by severe corneal burns. The procedure involves implanting his own tooth with a fitted lens, allowing him to see clearly again, and is considered a last resort when other treatments have failed.
