Company

At Axorus, we develop a Contact Lens to restore sight to blind patients afflicted by dry AMD or Retinitis Pigmentosa

With our partners at Boston University, we developed this retinal stimulator, using patented photoacoustic technology.

Preclinical trials are currently underway at the Institut de la Vision in Paris, France

Product

Contact Lens for dry AMD

We are developing a patented non-invasive Artificial Retina aimed at restoring sight for people with damaged retinas.

Completely Non Invasive

No surgery
No injections
No genetherapy

Technology

We are using genetic-free photoacoustic neuromodulation to stimulate cells inside the retina in order to restore vision for the patients.

We have preclinical proof of in vivo non-invasive photoacoustic activation of the retina and visual areas of the brain.

The published proof of concept results below were obtained with an invasive version (retinal implant) of the same technology.

BioRxiv - 2024 - A flexible high-precision photoacoustic retinal prosthesis

Nature Light: Science & Applications - 2022 - Noninvasive brain stimulation with ultrahigh precision
