Device using electric current for curing eye diseases
ScyFix has developed a device that treats eye diseases, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, with electric currents. The clinical trials are currently underway in India and the U.S. The company hopes to be the first to introduce an FDA approved device designed to restore eyesight. Until now, the use of electricity to slow or even reverse the effects of eye diseases has never made it out of a laboratory, said Dr. Thomas Samuelson, a founding partner of Minnesota Eye Consultants.
