Macular degeneration? Effects the elderly A build up of deposits called drusen on Macula Creates blind spot Peripheral Vision is typically not effected.

Solution Visioncare Inc. Implantable Miniture Telescope (IMT) 35 min Surgery

How it works Implant is able to magnify the vision to about 2.5 times its original size Makes picture big enough that you can see around the blind spot Takes away peripheral vision

Benefits Ability to recognize faces is restored Able to read Ability to perform daily activities, cooking cleaning, etc.

Side effects Cornea swelling Cornea implant Extensive therapy for proper use

Future An implant of less cost (current: $15,000) Solution that corrects the problem rather than just going around it A more general solution
