SING IMT (mini telescope for vision recovery)

2024: Product Announcement

At the end of July 2024, it became known that the Chinese doctor Li Xiaorong performed the first operation using the SING IMT miniature telescope manufactured by the Samsara Vision team to correct the consequences of central blindness in a patient with late-stage age-related macular degeneration. The operation was performed at the Lecheng Hospital of Hainan Medical University and was successful.

Central blindness caused by late-stage age-related macular degeneration is a scourge of many older adults that significantly reduces quality of life. To correct this condition, Samsara Vision has developed the SING IMT implantable mini telescope with a new foldable design that stabilizes and centers the implant during surgery. In addition, the company has developed a new delivery system, Tsert SI, that should reduce the length of the surgical procedure, the size of the incision and the number of stitches, speeding up postoperative recovery. Samsara Vision claims the device helps patients see objects at all distances, still and moving. Users can also perform a number of activities similar to natural vision capabilities.
