Breakthrough Eye Implant Restores Sight
Story 3
A new electronic eye implant with augmented reality glasses has restored central vision in patients with untreatable dry age-related macular degeneration.
In a European trial, most participants were able to read letters and numbers for the first time in years.
The PRIMA microchip implant works with glasses and a small computer, allowing patients to regain meaningful central vision without affecting peripheral sight.
The technology offers renewed independence and improved quality of life and could pave the way for future treatments for other eye conditions.
