Telescopic Eye Implant

Telescopic Eye Implant

An eye implant providing up to 3x optical magnification has completed Phase II/III human trials.

Designed for people with Advanced Macular Degeneration, enhancements like this could be available as elective upgrades for healthy eyes in the future.

Update [nym]: I initially wrote about this back in November, but it hadn’t completed human trials then. Sweet!
