Funded Activity Summary
Bionic Vision Australia. Bionic Vision Australia's retinal implant will provide vision to blind patients suffering from degenerative retinal conditions, including age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. The first advanced prototype to be clinically trialed will provide wide-view ambulatory vision for patients who have issues with light perception and mobility. A second prototype device that delivers high-acuity functioning central vision, image perception and enables increased patient independence will be developed through pre-clinical trials to be ready for implantation. The retinal implant and many other applications in medical bionics created by this project will have immense commercial value.Funded Activity Details
