2. Argus retinal prosthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_retinal_prosthesis

   Argus retinal prosthesis, also known as a bionic eye, is an electronic retinal implant manufactured by the American company Second Sight Medical Products. It is used as a visual prosthesis to improve the vision of people with severe cases of retinitis pigmentosa .

3. Retinal implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_implant

   The system is meant to partially restore useful vision to those who have lost their photoreceptors due to retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) or age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Retinal implants are being developed by a number of private companies and research institutions, and three types are in clinical trials ...

4. Visual prosthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_prosthesis

   The ability to give sight to a blind person via a bionic eye depends on the circumstances surrounding the loss of sight. For retinal prostheses, which are the most prevalent visual prosthetic under development (due to ease of access to the retina among other considerations), patients with vision loss due to degeneration of photoreceptors (retinitis pigmentosa, choroideremia, geographic atrophy ...

5. Photovoltaic retinal prosthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_retinal...

   Photovoltaic retinal prosthesis is a technology for restoration of sight to patients blinded by degenerative retinal diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), when patients lose the 'image capturing' photoreceptors, but neurons in the 'image-processing' inner retinal layers are relatively well-preserved.

   In September, doctors implanted a small device into Hester's left eye. The instrument, an Argus II Retinal Prostesis Device, consists of the implant, a video processor, and a pair of glasses that ...

7. Vitreomacular traction syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreomacular_traction...

   Vitreomacular traction syndrome (VTS) is a medical condition in the eye that is the result of tractional forces (pulling) being placed on the retina. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] VTS is common in people who have an incomplete posterior vitreous detachment, a type of retinal detachment at the periphery of the retina. [ 1 ]
