SCIENCE CORPORATION'S VISION-RESTORING CHIP WINS EU APPROVAL

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Science Corporation has won approval from Europe's medical device regulator to begin selling its PRIMA device, which restores vision lost from age-related macular degeneration. The device has also received a designation from the US FDA, the first step toward an expedited regulatory review. It requires an hour-long outpatient procedure that plants a small chip in the back of the eye. The product gives functional vision through camera-equipped glasses that transmit a view of the world to the chip.
