摘要: Abstract: The field of retinal prosthetic research, now more than 20 years old, has produced many high-quality technical options that have the potential to restore vision patients with acquired disease outer retina. Five companies performed Phase I clinical trials demonstrating blind can reliably report basic elements visual percepts induced by electrical stimulation. However, at present and observers generally do not consider results be useful enough in performance tasks daily living justify risks surgery chronic implantation or costs. Having developed a wireless device implanted subretinal space, Boston Retinal Implant Project focused its efforts on developing scalable technologies create hermetic deliver individually controlled pulses stimulation each hundreds electrodes. An advanced such attributes will needed implantation. assessment long-term biocompatibility for all devices remains done.
