The intraocular microtelescope - Hugh Breakspear and Simon Levy (13:02)

Whilst the MPod aims to identify those at risk from AMD (age-related macular degeneration) early on, a new device has been developed to help manage the condition, the intraocular microtelescope. Hugh Breakspear interviews Simon Levy, a consultant ophthalmologist at the North West London Hospital NHS Trust, to explain the Microtelescope and its potential to further improve the lives of those with the condition.
