Bionic lens makes vision perfect

Interesting information appeared the other day on the Web. The head of Ocumetics Technology Dr. Garth Webb (Dr. Garth Webb) reported that his company was able to create a bionic lens, which once and for all solves problems with visual acuity. So, this lens can not only improve visual acuity, but also forget about the existence of glasses or contact lenses.

The lens itself is called Ocumetics Bionic Lens, and it has been developed for about eight years. The total project cost is $ 3 million. In order to use such a lens, a simple operation is needed, the duration of which is only 8 minutes. The operation consists in introducing a bionic lens into the eye with a syringe with ordinary saline. This operation is very similar to cataract removal.

In this case, the lens is removed, it is replaced by a lens. Ocumetics Bionic Lens is inserted in folded form, and after insertion into the eye, the lens straightens, taking its intended place in the eyeball. Immediately after this, a person can feel all the benefits of acute vision. According to the developers, the vision is corrected once and for all, without deteriorating over time. Unfortunately, the developers do not report the details of the entire system, but claim that after the introduction of the lens, the eyes do not undergo any changes.



Ocumetics Bionic Lens has a number of benefits. For example, a person with such a lens will never get a cataract. In addition, the operation of introducing a lens into the eye is much safer than laser vision correction.

Now the company plans to conduct a series of clinical studies, which will be accompanied by the help of several prominent ophthalmologists. Most likely, the commercial implementation of the technology will be implemented in 2017. The restriction at Ocumetics Bionic Lens is only one - only people over 25 years old can enter the lens, because until this age the eyes continue to change.
