An Artistic Simulation of Sight with AMD
This image is a painted frame from “Ocular Bionica,” an animated film about age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and digital retinal implants by artist Lucy Burscough. Lucy says “I wanted to show people what seeing with macular degeneration and the ‘bionic eye’ implant was like. This image shows UK-based Paulo Stanga, retinal surgeon at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital and Manchester Vision Regeneration (MVR) Lab at NIHR/Wellcome Trust Manchester Clinical Research Facility, as seen by his patient Ray.” Lucy hopes that her work will raise awareness of AMD and encourage more patients to participate in clinical trials. Ocular Bionica can be viewed at www.LucysArt.co.uk/Ocular-Bionica.
