Simultaneous perception of prosthetic and natural vision in AMD patients

Abstract

Atrophic age-related macular degeneration (AMD) results in visual impairment. Here the authors report interim analysis of open-label single group feasibility trial using a wireless photovoltaic subretinal implant in patients with atrophic AMD, and report that the patients exhibited prosthetic visual perception with acuity closely matching the pixel size during the 18-24 month follow-up period.
