Approval of implanted medical devices

The recent BBC story about Oculentis and less-than-perfect replacement lenses, reminds me of the work which the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has done in researching and exposing the far more harmful defective implants and the faults in the approval process. Today ICIJ reports world-wide outrage at the failure to inform implant patients of the dangers.

One trusts that those who can will donate to help ICIJ keep up the good work.
