The number of Americans with disabling eye disease is increasing due to an aging population. Blindness or low vision affects 3.3 million Americans age 40 and over. This figure is projected to increase to 5.5 million by the year 2020. This invention is implantable telescopic lens used for individuals requiring visual aid. The transcorneal telescopic lens allows for up to 6X magnification of images to the retina with the advantage of having a stable scaffold for long term retention and the benefit of not depending on endothelial cell health.

Corneal transplantation is currently the most common form of organ transplant performed in the United States.

For retinal cells to maintain normal metabolic function, they demand oxygen and nutrients . Various conditions, like acute retinal artery embolic disease, retinal vein occlusion and retinopathy of prematurity, are associated with  abnormalities in retinal oxygenation and are implicated in the development of glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration.

The invention is a nanoscale molecular structure that can selectively attach to the extracellular fa

Market research indicates that neurodegenerative diseases are destined to become the next great health crusade over the next several decades. One of the approaches to this issue involves stem cells. Stem cells are unspecialized cells that have a unique ability to develop into any type of cell. They may potentially serve as an unlimited source of specialized cells including blood, liver, muscle, and bone cells. Patients with damaged cells due to neurological conditions may benefit from such research.

Millions of individuals suffer a lower quality of life as a result of blindness caused by retinal de
