Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative disease that causes a progressive loss of central vision.
The vision loss is concentrated in the macula, the central area of the retina responsible for high-detail vision for tasks like face recognition or reading. AMD is commonly classified into dry AMD caused by a thinning of the retina as photoreceptors degenerate or wet AMD caused by abnormal blood vessels in the retina.



Our Approach to Treatment
The PRIMA implant builds on decades of research to miniaturize solar technology. It is inserted into the subretinal space where the photoreceptors have degenerated, and electrical stimulation activates the remaining intact neurons to restore vision.

Science's PRIMAvera clinical study in Europe was focused on AMD and has been completed with positive preliminary results. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of the PRIMA implant on patients with AMD. Based on these results, we have submitted an application for a CE mark to the European Union. A separate feasibility study in the US continues.
