Complex optics and optical systems can be difficult to implant. What do these implants look like from the inside of the eye using the Miyaki-Apple technique in human autopsy eyes? In this grand prize-winning video from the 8th Annual Global Video Contest, Dr. Gerd U. Auffarth and colleagues take a detailed look at the the Samsara Implantable Miniature Telescope (IMT) for AMD and analyze its performance in the capsular bag. The video shows what structures can be altered and how secure and safe the implantation is.
