TLDR
A safe, effective adhesive could be useful in the management of retinal holes or tears and selected complicated retinal detachments, as well as for attaching a small electronic device (retinal prosthesis) to the retina.Abstract:
Background/Purpose:A safe, effective adhesive could be useful in the management of retinal holes or tears and selected complicated retinal detachments, as well as for attaching a small electronic device (retinal prosthesis) to the retina. In this study, we examined nine commercially available compouread more

TL;DR: In this paper, the epiretinal implant was used to restore some level of visual function to blind individuals. But, the retinal response to stimulation was not investigated. And, it was not shown that the implant still allowed test subjects to perform simple visual tasks.
