Science Corp implants vision chip in first Stargardt patient
Original: Science Corporation implants its vision-restoring chip in its first Stargardt disease patient
Science Corporation has implanted its vision-restoring chip in its first patient with Stargardt disease, an inherited condition that causes progressive loss of central vision, typically starting in childhood. The procedure marks an expansion of the company's retinal implant technology beyond earlier uses and will be watched closely for whether the chip can meaningfully restore sight in patients with the rare genetic disorder.
Why now: The milestone procedure offers hope for a disease with no approved treatment, drawing attention to the progress of vision-restoring implant technology.
