| Description |
The field of retinal prosthetics essentially began age about 20 years ago largely because of advances in microelectronic technology1, 2, which made it possible to imagine the development of electronically-sophisticated devices that were small enough to be implanted into the eyeball. The remarkable success of cochlear implants, which has been achieved without a large number of electrodes or very advanced electronic technology served as a beacon for the emerging field of visual prosthetics. |
