Huh, I had the reverse reaction--I heard about this 10+ years ago and I'm glad to finally be hearing something about it again, because it seemed like it had fallen off the planet for a while there. Human trials in the US is a huge leap forward.

Oh wild, my next thought was "now we just need someone to get that 'bionic' lens replacement thing I heard about around the same time and then never again," and I looked it up and there's a report from them from this month about an upcoming human trial. That's a lot worse than finding out the trials of the RISUG thing have been running for two years now, but it's still pretty exciting. I probably won't be able to afford it, though. https://ocumetics.com/message-from-ceo-april-2025/
