Intraocular Retinal Prosthesis Test Device

Abstract

There is a growing interest in the development of a retinal prosthesis device based on a number of successful experiments that have demonstrated electrical stimulation of retinal tissue. An introcular retinal prosthesis test device is currently under development at NRL/JHU. The general approach and technology development issues are discussed as well as some neurophysiology interface issues. The final device will enable acute human experiments in an operating room environment.
