About Second Sight
Second Sight's mission is to develop, manufacture, and market innovative implantable visual prosthetics to enable blind
individuals to achieve greater independence. Second Sight has developed and now manufactures and markets the Argus® II Retinal
Prosthesis System. Enrollment has been completed in a feasibility trial to test the safety and utility of the Argus II in
individuals with Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Second Sight is also developing the Orion™ I Visual Cortical Prosthesis to
restore some vision to individuals who are blind due to causes other than preventable or treatable conditions. U.S. Headquarters
are in Sylmar, California, and European Headquarters are in Lausanne, Switzerland. For more information, visit

About the Argus® II Retinal Prosthesis System
Second Sight's Argus II System provides electrical stimulation that bypasses the defunct retinal cells and stimulates remaining
viable cells inducing visual perception in individuals with severe to profound outer retinal degeneration such as retinitis
pigmentosa (RP). The Argus II works by converting images captured by a miniature video camera mounted on the patient's glasses into
a series of small electrical pulses, which are transmitted wirelessly to an array of electrodes implanted on the surface of the
retina. These pulses are intended to stimulate the retina's remaining cells, resulting in the perception of patterns of light in
the brain. The patient then learns to interpret these visual patterns, thereby regaining some useful vision. The system is
controlled by software and is upgradeable, which may provide improved performance as new algorithms are developed and tested.
Therefore current and future Argus II users may benefit from the continuously improving technology. The Argus II is the first
artificial retina to receive widespread approval, and is offered at approved centers in Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy,
the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
