The telescope prosthesis is surgically implanted monocularly in the capsular bag after removal of the eye’s lens. It employs wide-angle micro-optical lenses in a Galilean telescope design. The device can be implanted in an outpatient procedure.
The implant is the integral component of VisionCare Ophthalmic Technologies’ comprehensive treatment program called CentraSight, which helps patients follow the steps necessary for proper diagnosis, surgical evaluation, implantation and postoperative care.
