Abstract

Despite significant advances in the treatment of severe eye diseases, certain forms of blindness cannot be cured or improved to this day. These include, for example, retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary degeneration of photoreceptors. Technology approaches with implantable visual prostheses based on electrical stimulation of remaining neurons in the retina or cortex, have already been tested in a number of patients with limited results. New findings in the biology of these diseases as well as new technological developments give hope for better results in the future.
