First two Argus II Artificial Retinal Implants performed in Canada!


On June 5, 2014 and on September 5, 2014, Dr. Robert Devenyi and his colleagues performed Canada's first two Argus II artificial retinal chip implant procedures at the Donald K. Johnson Eye Center, The University Health Network at The University of Toronto. These procedures mark a new era in Ophthalmology, offering hope for patients who are completely blind from outer retinal degenerations. The generous support of the Foundation Fighting Blindness is gratefully acknowledged. CTV news
