“Don’t be scared to take a mold of the eye! Many patients and even some clinicians feel hesitant about taking impressions of the eye, but the process is gentle, quick, and one of the most effective ways to achieve a truly custom scleral lens fit. Impression-based scleral lenses such as EyePrintPRO allow us to capture the exact shape and subtle contours of the ocular surface. This level of precision can create a lens that offers superior comfort, more stable and consistent vision, and significantly less midday fogging and redness compared with conventional scleral lenses. For patients who have struggled with discomfort, variable clarity, or lenses that never seem to fit quite right, impression technology can be a transformative solution. It brings customization to a level that standard diagnostic fitting cannot match. If you are ready to explore advanced options for complex corneas or simply want the most personalized lens experience possible, impression-based scleral lenses may be the answer.” Caitlin Morrison (@eyesplain)

👁️ Restoring sight where there was none.

In a landmark European clinical trial, researchers at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London and partners across Europe have restored functional reading vision to patients who had completely lost sight due to dry AMD.

Using the PRIMA AI-powered retinal implant, 84% of participants were able to read letters, numbers, and words again — through an eye once considered blind.

This first-of-its-kind device converts visual scenes into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sight, marking a major step toward functional vision restoration.
