Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the BrainPort vision device and to demonstrate improved object recognition and word identification and ambulation with use of the BrainPort vision device in subjects who are medically documented as blind, with acuity of 20/ 5000 or worse.
Primary Outcome
The primary safety objective is to demonstrate that the rate of clinically significant device-related adverse events is less than 10%. This will require an observed event-free rate of approximately 97%.
