The Chicago Lighthouse’s research department is the Epicenter of Vision Innovation. Our groundbreaking work is at the forefront of advancing the possibilities for people with low vision.
In partnership with the Illinois Institute of Technology, we are in the first phase of a clinical trial that will investigate the visual perceptions via an implant for people with profound blindness.
The clinical trial involves the implantation of this first-of-its-kind wireless visual prosthesis system, which aims to restore limited vision to people with profound blindness. The ICVP is intended for people who are currently blind without light perception, but were sighted until at least age twelve.
To learn more about the ICVP, project goals, clinical trial participation criteria, and risks and benefits of participation, watch the informational session here: https://youtu.be/Iq6TmZIzYr8
