Retinal implant restores reading vision for patients with dry AMD
A clinical trial has shown that an innovative retinal implant called PRIMA, paired with augmented-reality glasses, enables blind patients with dry age-related macular degeneration to read again. The study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, involved 38 participants across five countries, with 84% regaining the ability to recognize letters, numbers, and words. This marks a significant advancement in artificial vision for a condition affecting millions worldwide.
