Retinal prosthesis system for advanced retinitis pigmentosa: a health technology assessment
Health Quality Ontario
Record ID 32016000933
English
Authors' recommendations:
Based on evidence of moderate quality, patients with advanced retinitis pigmentosa who were implanted with the Argus II retinal prosthesis system showed significant improvement in visual function, real-life functional outcomes, and quality of life, but there were complications associated with the surgery that could be managed through standard ophthalmologic treatments. The costs for the technology are high.
