Max Hodak's Science Corp Wins EU Clearance For Bionic Eye Implant
PRIMA fuses a subretinal chip with camera glasses, giving patients blinded by geographic atrophy a way to perceive shapes again.
- The CE Mark falls under the EU's Medical Device Regulation, in force since 2021.
- Geographic atrophy is advanced dry macular degeneration, a leading blindness cause with no approved cure.
- Science Corp's co-founder Max Hodak also co-founded, then left, Elon Musk's Neuralink.
Why it matters: Regulatory approval restores no vision itself, it merely licenses in Europe a device already proven years ago.
