New clinical trial for eye device

Doheny has partnered with Second Sight Medical Inc to develop a device that could help people suffering from night blindness and blindness caused by old age.

Rajat Agrawal, an assistant professor at Doheny commented, “We are creating an artificial retina. We are creating an artificial device where that function (is) to be superseded so that you are able to simulate the impluses to go on to the optical nerve and to the brain.” For more information, read here.
