Visual Prosthesis: Interfacing Stimulating Electrodes with Retinal Neurons to Restore Vision

The bypassing of degenerated photoreceptors using retinal neurostimulators is helping the blind to recover functional vision. Researchers are investigating new ways to improve visual percepts elicited by these means as the vision produced by these early devices remain rudimentary. However, several f...
