Summary

This is a pilot study to evaluate the safety of the Model WA-NG telescope prosthesis in patients with bilateral moderate to profound central vision impairment due to end-stage age-related macular degeneration.

Conditions

  • Age Related Macular Degeneration

Interventions

DEVICE

Telescope prosthesis

Monocular implantation of the telescope prosthesis after cataract extraction

DEVICE

WA-NG Telescope Prothesis

The WA-NG telescope prosthesis (Figure 1) is the next generation telescopic implantable device which, when combined with the optics of the cornea, constitutes a telephoto system for improvement of visual acuity in patients with severe to profound vision impairment due to bilateral, end-stage age-related macular degeneration. The device is implanted in one of the patient's eyes. In this way, the implanted eye provides central vision and the non-implanted eye can continue to provide peripheral vision.
