Highlights
  • The PRIMA implant, a tiny wireless retinal device, restored central vision in AMD by replacing lost photoreceptors with a photovoltaic system powered by infrared light from glasses.
  • In 38 patients across 17 sites in five European countries, 32 were tested a year after implantation, with many gaining clinically meaningful vision improvements.
  • Post-implant training remains essential as users adjust settings to maximize reading, contrast, and zoom, enabling real-world tasks like reading letters and words.
