Retinal stimulation strategies to restore vision: Fundamentals and systems
Open accessAbstract
Retinal degeneration, a leading cause of blindness worldwide, is primarily characterized by the dysfunctional/degenerated photoreceptors that impair the ability of the retina to detect light. Our group and others have shown that bioelectronic retinal implants restore useful visual input to those who have been blind for decades. This unprecedented approach of restoring sight demonstrates that patients can adapt to new visual input, and thereby opens up opportunities to not only improve this technology but also develop alternative retinal stimulation approaches. These future improvements or new technologies could have the potential of selectively stimulating specific cell classes in the inner retina, leading to improved visual resolution and color vision. In this review we will detail the progress of bioelectronic retinal implants and future devices in this genre as well as discuss other technologies such as optogenetics, chemical photoswitches, and ultrasound stimulation. We will discuss the principles, biological aspects, technology development, current status, clinical outcomes/prospects, and challenges for each approach. The review will cover functional imaging documented cortical responses to retinal stimulation in blind patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
