Safety and Efficacy of a Surgically Implanted Suprachoroidal Retinal Prosthesis ("Bionic Eye")

仿生眼是一种电子装置，它可以刺激盲人剩余的视觉通路，以恢复一些基本的视力。我们的团队之前已经证明，我们的新型仿生眼设备可以安全地植入患者体内，并且在实验室环境中进行测试时可以改善视力。研究的下一阶段是为患者提供更先进的设备，该设备将包含更多的电极，并且能够带回家。

A bionic eye is a electronic device which can stimulate the remaining visual pathway in a person who is blind, to restore some basic vision. Our team have previously shown that our novel bionic eye device can be safely implanted in a patient, and can give improvements in vision when tested in a laboratory environment. The next stage of the research is to provide patients with a more advanced device, which will contain more electrodes and also be able to be taken home.
