  • Anyone Have the ECT CNTF Neurotech Implant?

  • I will be getting the ECT CNTF implant in a few weeks. Just wanted to see if anyone else that has had the implant can give me some feedback. Have you have any bad side effects? Any noticable vision improvements?

    Thanks,

  • Did you have the surgery and did it help? Was it for wet AMD?

    My father is desperate for some hope.

    Hope you are well!!!
    My email is bymyhands@verizon.net

    Thanks so much

  • I got the implant on Sept. 7th and have had no problems. I haven't really noticed any improvement. However, the intent of the implant is to delay or stop the death of retina cells...
