Description
Luca Landini and co-authors followed four patients with late-stage age-related macular degeneration who received a tiny implantable telescope in one eye, in a case series published in 2024. The device, placed through a smaller cut than its forerunner, magnifies central images for people whose central vision is largely gone. The team tracked electrical responses of the retina as well as reading vision.
Six months after surgery, all four patients had gained in both distance and near vision scores. The retina's response density rose in every eye, most strongly at the center of gaze and fading outward in rings. Response strength also rose overall, with one dip in one patient's center. The authors call the early results promising while stressing the series is only four cases.
