Pixium Vision welcomed French Health Minister, Marisol Touraine at the « Institut de la Vision » in Paris

During her visit, the Minister for Social Affairs, Health and Women's Rights was able to learn more about the progress made by Pixium Vision in the development of its vision restoration systems

Paris, 22 April 2015 - Pixium Vision (FR0011950641 - PIX), a company developing innovative bionic vision systems to allow patients who have lost their sight to lead more independent lives, today announced that it received the visit from Marisol Touraine, Minister for Social Affairs, Health and Women's Rights.

Pixium Vision is currently conducting clinical trials in the development of IRIS® , its first vision restoration system. This system is designed for patients blinded by Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), an irreversible condition for which there is no current cure, affecting more than one and a half million people worldwide.

During her visit, Marisol Touraine met one of the patients using the IRIS® system. Having become blind more than twenty years ago, he is now able to move around more independently and distinguish shapes and objects.

Marisol Touraine welcomed the innovation delivered by the IRIS® system: a significant step forward and an innovative technology, meeting substantial social and clinical needs for patients suffering from this highly debilitating condition.

Khalid Ishaque, CEO of Pixium Vision added, "Pixium Vision is the only company developing two different approaches to stimulate the retina. We will commercialise our first system, IRIS® , after approval expected towards the end of 2015. We will also initiate clinical trials of our second system in 2016, a wireless, photovoltaic sub-retinal implant called PRIMA for which highly encouraging preclinical results were announced earlier today." Khalid Ishaque concluded: "Pixium Vision will closely follow the measures that will be implemented to support research and innovation in healthcare."
