Science Corporation implanted its PRIMA vision-restoring chip in a Stargardt disease patient, marking the first clinical use of the device for this inherited retinal disorder. The implant, which functions as artificial photoreceptors, enabled the patient to recognize letters and words during early rehabilitation sessions, with plans to improve field of view and resolution in future iterations.

Max Hodak, the former president and co-founder of Neuralink, detailed onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt how his company's work with PRIMA is part of its path toward a novel brain-computer interface (BCI).
