  2. Retinal implant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_implant

    The close proximity between the implant and the retina also increases the possibility of thermal damage to the retina from heat generated by the implant. [4] Subretinal implants require intact inner and middle retinal layers, and therefore are not beneficial for retinal diseases extending beyond the outer photoreceptor layer.

  3. Heidelberg Retinal Tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidelberg_retinal_tomography

    neuroretinal rim (area and volume) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (retinal surface height variation, thickness, asymmetry). These stereometric parameters are compared with extensive databases and thus enable the eye to be classified taking into account the individual papillae size and the patient's age.

  4. Argus retinal prosthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_retinal_prosthesis

    The Argus implant's primary external element is a digital camera mounted on eyeglass frames, which obtains images of the user's surroundings; signals from the camera are transmitted wirelessly to a computerised image processor. The processor is in turn connected by cables to the implant itself, which is surgically implanted on the surface of ...

  5. Kernohan's notch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernohan's_notch

    Kernohan's notch is a cerebral peduncle indentation associated with some forms of transtentorial herniation (uncal herniation). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is a secondary condition caused by a primary injury on the opposite hemisphere of the brain. [ 3 ]

  6. Visual prosthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_prosthesis

    Candidates for visual prosthetic implants find the procedure most successful if the optic nerve was developed prior to the onset of blindness. Persons born with blindness may lack a fully developed optical nerve , which typically develops prior to birth, [ 4 ] though neuroplasticity makes it possible for the nerve, and sight, to develop after ...

  7. Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis

    Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP), also known as "tooth in eye" surgery, [1] is a medical procedure to restore vision in the most severe cases of corneal and ocular surface patients. It includes removal of a tooth from the patient or a donor.

  8. Ocular prosthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_prosthesis

    For HA implants drill 1 mm holes as muscle insertion site; Draw Tenon's fascia over implant; Close Tenon's facia in one or two layers; Suture conjunctiva; Insert temporary ocular conformer until prosthesis is received (4–8 weeks later) After implant vascularization, an optional secondary procedure can be done to place a couple peg or post.

  9. Extraocular implant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraocular_implant

    Unlike subdermal implants and other new body modification procedures, the extraocular implant is currently only being performed in a medical clinic environment. The procedure is relatively quick, but it does require that both eyes be immobilized with anesthetic drops, and that the layers of the eyeball where the implant is situated must be separated by the injection of liquid.
