Retinal Implant

A retinal implant is a technological device designed to restore vision in people with certain types of blindness caused by retinal diseases. It consists of a small electronic chip implanted into the retina, which receives signals from a camera mounted on glasses. This chip converts the visual information into electrical signals that stimulate the remaining healthy retina cells, sending visual data to the brain. By doing so, the implant can help patients perceive shapes, light, and movement, improving their ability to navigate and recognize their environment. It’s a promising approach for restoring partial sight to those with retinal degenerative conditions.
