In January, Pixium Vision announced the publication of peer-reviewed clinical data in Nature Communications demonstrating the clinical benefit of the Prima System* in Dry AMD patients. Some of the key takeaways amongst others were that the Prima System* implant was generally well tolerated over the 18-24 months period, and that the synchronous perception of natural and prosthetic vision has been demonstrated.
