    Pixium Vision

    Pixium Vision [ALPIX] is developing retinal implant systems for patients who have lost their sight, with the intention of improving their vision and enabling them to lead more independent lives. The Company intends to harness the rapid advances being made in neural processing, micro-electronics and computing to develop retinal implant systems that for blind people could ultimately provide vision approaching that of a normal healthy eye.

    Pixium’s first device, IRIS1 (Intelligent Retinal Implantable System), uses an epi-retinal implant (on the retinal surface) and is currently in clinical trials with the goal of obtaining CE Mark. A second generation system (IRIS2) based on the same format, but offering better visual acuity and featuring several breakthrough technologies, is also under development. In addition, Pixium is developing a sub-retinal implant system (IRIS3), based on further technological breakthroughs, which has the potential to improve vision significantly compared to IRIS1 and IRIS2.

    Pixium was created in Paris, France in November 2011 as a spin-out of the Vision Institute and Université Pierre et Marie Curie.
