Phase 1/2 


  • Bionic Sight is a company that are developing treatments for advanced stage of blindness. Their therapy combines the use of optogenetics, a gene used to express light sensitive protein in the ganglion cells, and an external device to drive it to send signals to the brain which may help to restore some function of sight to the patient.
