A new FDA-approved miniature telescope implant is now available to treat the most advanced form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), or end-stage age-related macular degeneration, in which both eyes have central vision loss. End-stage age-related macular degeneration can develop from either the dry or the wet form of age-related macular degeneration and is not curable with drugs. The miniature telescope implant helps by using healthy areas of the retina to see instead of the area affected by the macular degeneration. The miniature telescope implant is used in a comprehensive patient treatment program called CentraSight^™. The CentraSight treatment program includes several steps, including proper diagnosis, candidate screening/evaluation, and visual rehabilitation.

Here is an image of the device on a fingertip and an illustration of a cross section of an eye with the miniature telescope implanted.

OCLI is one of 14 initial sites nationwide where doctors will properly diagnose, evaluate patients for candidacy and implant the device. To arrange an appointment with one of OCLI’s retinal specialists to see if you or a loved one is a candidate, please call 1-866-SEE-OCLI.

Hear what our patients are saying.

Great office, great doctor. Every employee was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Carolina Monteiro
Since you arrived you will be attended by great staff. They do a complete eye exam. They are very careful with the cleaning of every machine before you use it. You don’t have to wait too long in order to see the doctor who by the way is very clear to explain your condition. He is very professional and polite. I will highly recommend this place. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.

Laura Rodriguez
The entire staff is cordial and competent. Appropriate questions are asked and answered. One can feel very confident in the treatment offered.

Merle Price

By far, the best group of Drs. in the industry. I have seen 3 of their Drs. and they were all above and beyond!! If you have any eye issues they will greatly help you with their great knowledge and compassion!! Would recommend OCLI over and over again!!
