Highlights
  • The PRIMA implant, a tiny device under the retina, paired with glasses, shows reading gains for some legally blind patients in a landmark study.
  • Out of the 32 patients with geographic atrophy — an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration — who completed the clinical study, 26 of them showed "meaningful improvement in visual acuity from baseline" 12 months after receiving the implant, the research published in the New England Journal of Medicine said.
  • The 12-month European trial involved 32 evaluable patients across 17 hospitals, with mean age around 79, all experiencing GA-related vision loss.
