Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System

The Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System is a device designed to help people with severe vision loss from retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa. It consists of a tiny camera mounted on glasses that captures images and sends them wirelessly to a small electronic implant placed on the retina. The implant stimulates the remaining healthy retinal cells with electrical signals, allowing the brain to interpret visual information. While it doesn't restore perfect vision, it can improve the ability to recognize objects and navigate environments, enhancing independence for users.
