总结视网膜假体的现状，最新的成就，以及剩下的主要研究、工程和康复挑战。视网膜研究、材料和生物相容性研究，以及对RP致盲患者的临床试验，代表了一个具有相当前景和发人深省的挑战的新兴领域。通过相关论文的概要，总结了世界各地数十个实验室、公司和诊所的进展情况，不仅是为了总结进展，还传达了该领域在兴趣、努力和外部资金方面的显著增加。目前，视网膜植入技术的临床应用主要由一两家集团/公司主导，但这一领域是开放的，其他公司可以通过新的方法在技术、组织接口、信息传输范例和康复方面发挥带头作用。未来几年，这个领域将走向何方，几乎每个人都在猜测，但它将向前发展是肯定的。
To summarize the current status of retinal prostheses, recent accomplishments, and major remaining research, engineering, and rehabilitation challenges. Retinal research, materials and biocompatibility studies, and clinical trials in patients blind from RP are representative of an emerging field with considerable promise and sobering challenges. A summary of progress in dozens of labs, companies, and clinics around the world is presented through a synopsis of relevant papers, not only to summarize the progress, but also to convey the remarkable increase in interest, effort, and outside funding this field has enjoyed. At the present time, clinical applications of retinal implant technology are dominated by one or two groups/companies, but the field is wide open for others to take the lead through novel approaches in technology, tissue interfacing, information transfer paradigms, and rehabilitation. Where the field will go in the next few years is almost anybody’s guess, but that it will move forward is a certainty.
