Retina Implant AG is the leading developer of subretinal implants for partially sighted and blind patients.

Retina Implant began implanting human patients in 2005 and started a second, larger clinical trial in 2010. In July 2013, Retina Implant's wireless subretinal implant technology, Alpha IMS, received CE mark. The Alpha AMS subretinal implant was CE-marked in March 2016.
