REGULATORY STAGE
Preclinical
Axorus occupies a narrow and technically distinctive position in the visual prosthesis space, using photoacoustic stimulation delivered via a contact-lens-and-glasses system rather than surgically implanted retinal electrodes. This non-invasive approach to retinal stimulation is differentiated from both implantable competitors like Second Sight and cortical visual prostheses, though it remains at the preclinical stage with published proof-of-concept only.
