Vision Restoration with the PRIMA Implant: what’s next?
Yannick Le Mer (Paris, F)

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with geographic atrophy (GA) causes irreversible vision loss and no therapies exist to restore visual function in this population. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the PRIMA system to restore vision in patients with severe vision loss due to GA. The PRIMA system employs a subretinal photovoltaic wireless implant with augmented reality glasses that project near-infrared light on it, thereby restoring input to second order neurons. On the 38 patients included in a prospective study, the PRIMA system successfully restored central vision in participants with AMD-related GA, demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful VA improvements at 12 months post-implantation with consistent treatment effects across patient subgroups.
