We speak of a microchip minuscule that has the function to receive infrared light. It then generates electrical stimuli to restore usable vision in patients suffering from: macular degeneration. The new plant it is the first made in Italy as part of the international PRIMAvera project, in the AO San Giovanni Addolorata in Rome.
It is a clinical trial against the blindness in particular aimed at the macular degeneration. This syndrome is age-related of the atrophic type that develops in the terminal phase of geographic atrophy. This research has already been conducted abroad.
Congratulations to the whole team of the San Giovanni Hospital who carried out the intervention, showing that Lazio is once again at the forefront of the new frontiers of medicine, that Lazio’s health care is an excellence and a point of reference. Moreover, combining the competence of our doctors and health professionals with the possibility of technical and instrumental innovation in our hospitals, thanks to the important investments we have initiated through the PNRR, allows us to carry out interventions that were unimaginable until some time ago. were, but which are a reality today.
Alessio D’Amato, Councilor for Health of the Lazio Region
Our hospital business has chosen to invest in innovation and research to improve service delivery and increase results in terms of effectiveness. Our professionals also have the opportunity, thanks to the important investments made by the Lazio region, to use the best equipment.
Tiziana Frittelli, General Director of the AO San Giovanni Addolorata in Rome
In fact, the study aims to restore useful vision in patients who have completely lost central vision (absence of light perception) due to atrophic AMD that has evolved into end-stage GA. The restoration of vision obtained thanks to the implantation of the subretinal prosthesis allows to produce a visual stimulation and, through the optical pathways, the reception of the visual stimulus by the cerebral cortex, ultimately allowing the recognition of numbers and letters becomes and to reconstruct complex words .
