Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of visual impairment in the western world, causing significant reduction in quality of life. Despite treatment advances, the burden of visual impairment caused by AMD continues to rise. In addition to traditional low vision rehabilitation and support, optical and electronic aids, and strategies to enhance the use of peripheral vision, implantable telescopic devices have been indicated as a surgical means of enhancing vision. Here we examine the literature on commercially available telescopic devices discussing their design, mode of action, surgical procedure and published outcomes on visual acuity, quality of life, surgical complication rates and cost effectiveness data where available.Funding Article processing charges were funded by VisionCare Inc.
年龄相关性黄斑变性（AMD）是西方世界视力损害的主要原因，会导致生活质量显著下降。尽管治疗取得了进展，但AMD所致视力损害的负担仍在持续上升。除了传统的低视力康复与支持、光学和电子辅助设备以及增强周边视力使用的策略外，可植入式望远设备已被视为一种提高视力的手术方法。在此，我们研究了关于市售望远设备的文献，讨论了它们的设计、作用方式、手术过程以及已发表的关于视力、生活质量、手术并发症发生率和成本效益数据（如有）的结果。资金 文章处理费由VisionCare公司资助。
