In the clinical trials described therein, 80% of patients demonstrated meaningful improvement of visual acuity and 84% reported the ability to read letters, numbers, and words. Professor Holz is Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at the University Hospital of Bonn.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOur goal at Science is to develop brain-computer interface technologies for conditions long considered untreatable,\u201d said Max Hodak, founder and CEO of Science. \u201cIt\u2019s gratifying that in cases where people have been blinded by this awful disease impacting mostly older adults, the scientific community thinks that we are succeeding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nScience is a leader in brain-computer interface technology and neural engineering. The PRIMA BCI device, consisting of a tiny wireless chip implanted in the retina combined with a pair of special glasses, is based on work conducted by Professor Daniel Palanker at Stanford University, a co-author of the October paper.

In the United States, a Food and Drug Administration approval process is underway. The company has a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fpatients.science.xyz%2F&amp;esheet=54396816&amp;newsitemid=20260114789929&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=patient+registry&amp;index=7&amp;md5=6695154d542c1aeddc54ea05ba51a5e1\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">patient registry<\/a> for people with macular degeneration and other eye related diseases.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe PRIMA wireless implant system is a novel subretinal photovoltaic implant paired with specialized glasses that project near-infrared light to the implant, which acts like a miniature solar panel. It has an ultra-thin profile and seamless, wireless integration, and its \u201czoom-in\u201d feature provides patients with the ability to magnify letters.<\/p>\n<p>\nGA is characterized by a loss of photoreceptors in the retina. PRIMA combats this loss with its wireless subretinal implant (measurements: 2mm x 2mm x 30\u00b5m) that operates as an array of artificial photoreceptors, stimulating the remaining cells to carry the visual signal to the brain. Unlike conventional therapies that attempt to slow disease progression, PRIMA directly restored lost functional vision in GA patients in our clinical trials.<\/p>\n<p>\nMillions of people have AMD; the current generation of PRIMA is designed to treat a subset with advanced GA where vision loss is severe. Science is developing the next version of the implant and glasses which will optimize visual performance further with digital image processing, eye tracking, and streamlined ergonomics to bring this technology to more patients.<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>About Science Corporation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nScience Corporation is a leader in brain-computer interface technology.
