Abstract
Electronic retinal implants are a promising technology for partially restoring vision after severe neurodegenerative diseases. The basic idea is to replace damaged photoreceptors with electronic devices that convert light signals into electrical impulses stimulating bipolar or ganglion cells in the retina. In this review, we will look at the history of this technology, the current state of the art, and the different designs and operating principles of retinal implants.
