Argus II

The Argus II is a medical device designed to help people with severe vision loss due to conditions like retinitis pigmentosa. It consists of a small camera mounted on glasses that captures images and sends signals to a tiny implanted electrode array on the retina. The device translates visual information into electrical pulses that stimulate remaining retinal cells, providing the brain with visual cues. While it doesn't restore normal sight, it can improve awareness of shapes, movement, and light spots, helping users navigate their environment more safely.
