Abstract:
Between 2005 and 2016, over 30,000 cochlear implants were implanted in Germany, while the number of retinal implants remained less than 1% of this number. The two types of retina implants that reached the market did not survive economically. The present review article discusses the impact and future of electronic retina implants in ophthalmology.
