Purpose To date, reviews of bionic eye have concentrated on implants which were used in
human trials in the developed countries. This is the main restriction of this systematic review …

Objective. Retinal prostheses are promising devices to restore vision for patients with severe
age-related macular degeneration or retinitis pigmentosa disease. The visual processing …

Introduction Electrical stimulation offers a drug-free alternative for the treatment of many
neurological conditions, such as chronic pain. However, it is not easy to selectively activate …

Biomedical circuits and systems are heading toward a multidisciplinary race in two main
directions. On the one hand, advanced smart medical devices must be built to improve …

Intelligent and low-power retinal prostheses are highly demanded in this era, where
wearable and implantable devices are used for numerous healthcare applications. In this …

Objective. Our laboratory has proposed chemical stimulation of retinal neurons using
exogenous glutamate as a biomimetic strategy for treating vision loss caused by …

Visual prostheses with both comprehensive visual signal processing capability and energy
efficiency are becoming increasingly demanded in the age of intelligent personal …

Electronic visual prostheses stimulate neurons in the visual pathway to create light
perception for blind patients. Electrically induced spots of light are called phosphenes, and …

Visual prostheses are potential devices to restore vision for blind people, which highly
depends on the quality of stimulation patterns of the implanted electrode array. However …

The objective of this dissertation is to develop strategies to electroosmotically actuate
glutamate in chemical retinal prosthesis for restoring vision in photoreceptor degenerative …
