Mahi began by giving Toby a bit of background to the clinical medical trial and how the technology works.
Mahi then talked about how in the future the bionic eye chip implant could be very beneficial to other people like Bionic Nana who have dry Age Related Macular Degeneration which is currently not able to be treated with injections like wet AMD.
