Optobionics Corporation, based in Glen Ellyn, IL, is a pioneering company in the field of vision restoration. Led by Dr. Chow, the company specializes in the development and implementation of Artificial Silicon Retina (ASR) implants, which have shown promise in stimulating the retinas of patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a condition that causes vision loss. With a focus on restoring the functionality of the eye's light sensing cells, Optobionics aims to improve the lives of individuals affected by vision impairments.
Utilizing a process similar to that of a camera, Optobionics' ASR implants work by converting analog light signals into digital electro-chemical pulses, which are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve. By reorganizing under the Optobionics name, Dr. Chow and his team are committed to advancing the field of vision restoration and providing hope for those experiencing vision loss due to disruptions or malfunctions in the eye's complex processes.
