The BVT Bionic Eye System is a suprachoroidal implant manufactured by Bionic Vision Technologies. The Gen1 Bionic Eye System was previously known as BVA 24 and was manufactured by the Bionic Vision Australia consortium in 2012. The commercialization rights and research rights of BVA were then taken over by Bionic Vision Technologies (BVT) in 2017. The Gen1 Bionic Eye System used a non-implantable percutaneous connector whereas the Gen2 Bionic Eye System is fully implantable. BVT is now developing the Gen3 Bionic Eye System.
