Abstract

In order to develop retinal implants with a large number of electrodes, it is necessary to ensure that they do not cause damage to the neural tissue by the heat that the electrical circuits generate. Knowledge of the amount of power that induces thermal damage will assist in development of power budgets for implants, which has a significant effect upon the design of the prostheses circuitry. In this study, temperatures were measured at multiple locations on the retina while the retina was heated in cadaver and in vivo preparations using a variety of prosthesis implantation sites. A finite element thermal model of the cat eye was also created and validated by the cadaver and in vivo tests, allowing for a much larger spectrum of thermal influences to be evaluated without additional animal experimentation. To ensure that retinal tissue temperatures are not increased by more than 2 °C, a 5 mm × 5 mm, suprachoroidally implanted heating element must not dissipate more than 135 mW (5.4 mW/mm (2)).

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.
