Researchers are developing retinal implants to restore basic orientation for blind individuals by bypassing degenerative retinal diseases. This paper reviews the current progress in these innovative visual prosthetics.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroscience

Context:

  • Degenerative diseases of the retina cause blindness, significantly impacting orientation and mobility.
  • Current treatments for retinal degeneration are limited in restoring functional vision.
  • Technological advancements are enabling the development of novel visual prosthetics.

Purpose:

  • To review the current state of experimental research and technological development in retinal implants.
  • To assess the potential of these implants to restore basic orientation in blind individuals.
  • To provide an overview of the progress in designing visual prosthetics for retinal diseases.

Summary:

  • Coordinated research groups are actively developing experimental retinal implants.
