Retinal Chip News Today

Retinal prostheses offer viable vision restoration therapy for patients with blindness. However, a critical requirement for maintaining the stable performance of electrical stimulation and signal transmission is the biocompatibility of the electrode interface. Here, we demonstrated a functionalized electrode-neuron biointerface composed of an annealed graphene oxide-collagen (aGO-COL) composite and neuronal cells. The aGO-COL exhibited an electroactive 3D crumpled surface structure and enhanced ...

To get vision restoring microchip implants that are considered revolutionary. more from the bbcs fergus walsh. >> reporter: just six weeks ago, chris james was totally blind. now he can perceive light. this box powers his implant but its whats under his scalp which is amazing. this x-ray shows the computer processor above his ear linked by a cable to the implant behind his retina. the wafer-thin chip is just three millimeters square. now he can perceive light and even the outline of shapes. chri...
