Retina implant links
These links are starting points.
- News about implantable telescope for macular degeneration - cool idea to move central vision to the surviving periphery.
- Optobionics - one of the original implant companies, went bankrupt and being revived.
- Second Sight Inc. - one of the biggest retina implant companies, based in California.
- Retina Implant AG - another big implant consortium, based in Germany.
