Degenerative retinal dystrophies, such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular
degeneration, cause the progressive loss of retinal photoreceptors, which leads to …

Retinal prostheses are implantable devices that aim to restore the vision of blind patients
suffering from retinal degeneration, mainly by artificially stimulating the remaining retinal …

Silicone rubber's silicone-oxygen backbones give unique material properties which are
applicable in various biomedical devices. Due to the diversity of potential silicone rubber …

Current retinal prostheses (RPs) have not achieved useful vision restoration, as their
resolution is limited by power dissipation and complexity of interconnect. This article …

Optical-electrode (optrode) arrays use light to modulate excitable biological tissues and/or
transduce bioelectrical signals into the optical domain. Light offers several advantages over …

Over the past few decades, nanowires have arisen as a centerpiece in various fields of
application from electronics to photonics, and, recently, even in bio-devices. Vertically …

Recent approaches toward a functional retinal prosthesis to restore vision in
neurodegenerative patients have been limited by the number of pixels that can be …

Vision restoration strategies aim to reestablish vision by replacing the function of lost
