A tiny wireless implant is giving new hope to people blinded by advanced age-related macular degeneration. In a major international clinical trial, more than 80% of participants regained meaningful central vision, with many able to read letters and even words again after years of decline. The device replaces damaged light-sensing cells in the retina with a 2×2 mm implant that converts light into electrical signals, restoring communication between the eye and the brain.
