U.S. approves implantation of telescope technology in the eye to improve patient vision

Microscopic view of an implantable microscopic telescope

According to foreign media reports, with the “baby boomer population” (the generation born after the Second World War) entering the golden age, the United States is facing a rapid population aging. For eyesight problems prevalent in the middle-aged and elderly population, 30% of the elderly over the age of 75 suffer from age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), which causes the patient's retina to decay and causes blindness. At present, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been deliberating for 5 years and is now the first time to approve the implantation of an implantable micro-telescope (IMT) in patients' eyes, thereby improving the condition of patients with age-related macular degeneration and gradually recovering. The effect of vision in blind patients.

Age-related macular degeneration has serious consequences for vision, and with the attenuation of the retina, the center of vision will appear blurred or completely dark. The corrective function of the implantable microscopic telescope can expand the imaging of the peripheral area of ​​part of the healthy retina. Once the implantable device is installed on the retina, the remaining normal working retinal cells can produce an annular image that the patient can see.

Of course, the ring-shaped image presented by the implantable microscopic telescope is not like the normal vision image of a person. The patient must use a repair procedure to grasp the objects he sees. It is reported that due to the correction process of the repair procedure, the patient may have a state of headache.

Implantable microscopic telescopes are not the panacea for all patients with age-related macular degeneration. They are suitable for the treatment of patients with end-stage age-related macular degeneration. Through this treatment, the visual acuity of the patients can be significantly improved, enabling them to improve their quality of life.

By 2050, implantable microscopic telescopes will improve the visual acuity of more than 1 million patients with age-related macular degeneration, perhaps until then there will be semi-robot technology, but implantable microscopic telescopes will still be used as a reliability technology. The majority of patients bring the gospel. (Camera)
