Here is the ARPA-H THEA program website, for anyone interested: https://arpa-h.gov/research-and-funding/programs/thea

Dr. Cal Roberts, head of the program, has given an expected timeline of 3-6 years to see successful results. (Not sure if he meant proof of principle or clinical results, but probably the former, if there is an approval process required before wide-scale treatment of patients).

Patients with complete blindness will be given preferential priority over patients with partial blindness when this reaches the clinic.
