Posted: Published on January 30th, 2014

Kellogg retina surgeons implant Argus II Retinal Prosthesis, or 'bionic eye,' for two patients with end-stage retinitis pigmentosa ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --Retina surgeons at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center have performed the first and second -- surgeries in the United States to implant an artificial retina, or "bionic eye," since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the device last year. Thiran Jayasundera, M.D., and David N. Zacks, M.D., Ph.D., performed the surgeries for patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a degenerative and blinding eye disease. "We are pleased with both patients' progress at this point, and we are hopeful and optimistic that the artificial retina will enable them to see objects, light and people standing before them," says Jayasundera, assistant professor of ophthalmology at the U-M Medical School. "We believe the device will help them navigate a little better at home, be more independent, and have the pleasure of seeing things that the rest of us take for granted." The device is the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System, developed by Second Sight Medical Products Inc. of Sylmar, Calif. The Kellogg Eye Center at the University of Michigan Health System is one of 12 Centers … Continue reading

Courthouse getting concessions: machines with food, drinks, ice cream

Published: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. Last Modified: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. Tom Loveday was surprised to find out the way he viewed the world was a little different than those around him. As a teenager, doctors diagnosed him with retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease. In 1988 he was declared legally blind, but Loveday continued to work, putting in 35 years as an engineer, supervisor and in manual labor until he was laid off. Now Loveday has reinvented himself into a successful business entrepreneur thanks in part to the Florida Division of Blind Services' Bureau of Business Enterprise. A business venture by the bureau will soon take Loveday into the Marion County Judicial Center as the operator of a new concession space. Though he's been declared legally blind, Loveday's illness doesn't leave him disabled. He can see in well-lit spaces and sometimes uses a cane to move around. "People just don't understand," he said of many misconceptions he has encountered concerning his sight. "To simplify it, it's basically the retina crystallizes and you basically end up with no periphery (vision) whatsoever," said Loveday, 58, of Ocklawaha. As for his new business, the Bureau of Business … Continue reading

Comander, M.D., Ph.D. The support will be provided over a four-year period.

The disease affects approximately 100,000 people in the U.S. and 2 million people worldwide. A clinician scientist, Dr. Comander is a member of the Retina Service and the Berman-Gund Laboratory for the Study of Retinal Degenerations at Mass. Eye and Ear.
