Described herein are flexible keratoprosthesis devices and uses thereof. The keratoprosthesis devices () can include an anchor body () and a plurality of flexible haptics (), wherein the plurality of flexible haptics can be attached to and can be capable of extending radially from the anchor body. The flexible keratoprosthesis devices can be implanted into the eye via a minimally invasive technique.

Flexible keratoprosthesis devices and uses thereof

Disclosed are devices, systems, and methods for restoring vision to a subject. In one embodiment, the vision restoration device comprises a projector configured to project one or more digital images onto a central retina of the subject and one or more lenses coupled to the projector and configured to focus the one or more digital images. The vision restoration device can also comprise an extraocular component configured to be implanted within the subject and comprising one or more processors programmed to execute instructions stored in a memory to wirelessly receive the one or more digital images from an extracorporeal device. The intraocular projection component can be connected or coupled to the extraocular component by a trans-scleral communication wire configured to cross the sclera of the eye. The trans-scleral communication wire is configured to transmit digital data between the extraocular component and the intraocular projection component.

Devices, systems, and methods for vision restoration
