Journal ArticleDOI

Morphometric analysis of the macula in eyes with disciform age-related macular degeneration.

TL;DR: It is suggested that replacement of outer nuclear function, by either retinal transplantation or implantation of the intraocular retinal prosthesis, might be a feasible therapeutic option for patients with patients with disciform age-related macular degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visually Guided Performance of Simple Tasks Using Simulated Prosthetic Vision

TL;DR: To simulate the vision levels that recipients of retinal prostheses with 4 x 4, 6 x 10, and 16 x 16 electrode arrays may experience, and to test the functionality of this vision, a set of tasks including four-choice orientation discrimination of a Sloan letter E was designed.
Patent

Optically powered and optically data-transmitting wireless intraocular pressure sensor device

TL;DR: In this article, an optically powered and optically data-transmitting wireless intraocular pressure sensor device was proposed for detecting excessive intra-ocular pressure above a predetermined threshold pressure, comprising a pressure switch that is sized and configured to be placed in an eye.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feasibility Study of a Retinal Prosthesis : Spatial Vision With a 16-Electrode Implant

TL;DR: Synchronized stimulation of different retinal locations with an epiretinal prosthesis implanted long-term can produce spatial vision with an acuity level determined by the distance between the electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving the spatial resolution of epiretinal implants by increasing stimulus pulse duration.

TL;DR: It is found that pulse durations two orders of magnitude longer than those typically used in existing implants stimulated inner retinal neurons while avoiding activation of ganglion cell axons, thus confining retinal responses to the site of the electrode.
