Artificial Retina Research

Artificial retina research aims to develop devices that restore vision to people with retinal diseases by replacing damaged photoreceptor cells. These devices often involve electronic implants that convert incoming light into electrical signals, which then stimulate the remaining healthy cells in the retina to create visual information sent to the brain. Advances include miniaturized implant chips, sensory prosthetics, and innovative materials that improve image resolution and stability. The goal is to restore functional sight for those with degenerative eye conditions, enhancing their quality of life through technological solutions that emulate the eye's natural function.
