About
Nano Retina has developed a solution intended to restore the sight of people who have lost their vision due to retinal degenerative diseases. The solution, NR600 Implant, is a miniature Nano Retina device that replaces the functionality of the damaged photoreceptor cells and creates the electrical stimulation required to activate the remaining healthy retinal cells. NR600 consists of two components: a miniature implantable chip and a pair of eyeglasses worn by the patient. Nano Retina's implant contains all the required components that enable its full vision functionality in a single miniature chip. The Nano Retina implant is inserted into the eye in a minimally invasive surgical procedure under local anesthesia in an ambulatory surgery with no need for hospitalization. The estimated procedure duration is less than an hour. The surgical procedure uses standard ophthalmic surgery methods and preparations up until the final step of the actual deployment of the implant just above the retina. Since the Nano Retina implant contains all the necessary functionalities to stimulate retinal nerves, there is no need for additional wiring outside the eye globe, resulting in a relatively low-risk profile for the procedure and a fast healing and recovery time.
