Visual prostheses: Current progress and challenges

We have recently designed, fabricated and implanted a visual prosthesis. Animal studies show that the implant remains viable post- op. There exist numerous challenges to move the implant from the bench o the bedside and requires a concerted effort from scientists in different disciplines to come tog...

description We have recently designed, fabricated and implanted a visual prosthesis. Animal studies show that the implant remains viable post- op. There exist numerous challenges to move the implant from the bench o the bedside and requires a concerted effort from scientists in different disciplines to come together. We hope that in the future that we will eventually take the important step being able to perform human studies to understand the efficacy of a chronic retinal implant.
