Photovoltaic retinal prosthesis is a technology for restoring sight to blind patients suffering from degenerative retinal diseases. In retinal degenerative diseases such as Retinitis Pigmentosa and Age-Related Macular Degeneration,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stanford.edu/~palanker/lab/retinalpros.html )〕 patients loss ‘image capturing’ photo-receptors, but, neurons in the ‘image-processing’ inner retinal layers are relatively well preserved. In this retinal prosthesis sight of a patient is tried to be restored by electrically stimulating the surviving neurons. Photovoltaic retinal prosthesis implants are fully wireless and powered by near infrared illumination. Therefore, they do not require complex surgical methods to implant coil-decoder-cable-array systems which deliver energy to stimulating electrodes via intraocular cables, as in other retinal implant technologies. == References ==
