Retinal prostheses, using microelectrodes to stimulate neurons, offer hope for vision restoration in blindness. This review details three types of retinal implants, their mechanisms, and clinical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering

Context:

  • Visual pathway diseases can cause irreversible blindness by disrupting signal transmission.
  • Retinal prostheses aim to restore vision by stimulating retinal neurons.

Purpose:

  • To review the construction, mechanism, implantation, and outcomes of three types of retinal prostheses.
  • To analyze the advantages, disadvantages, and biocompatibility of these retinal implants.

Summary:

  • Retinal prostheses involve implanting microelectrodes to deliver electrical signals or neurotransmitters, activating retinal neurons.
  • This review covers three distinct retinal prosthesis designs, examining their surgical implantation, functional impact, and biological interactions.

Impact:
