ARTIFICIAL RETINA

The goal of our research is to develop an advanced artificial retina: an electronic implant that will restore vision to people blinded by incurable retinal disease. We focus on an innovative combination of basic and applied research to create a unique device capable of closely mimicking normal retinal function. In contrast to the approaches taken by other groups, we aim to reproduce the precise retinal code at a cellular resolution with cell-type specificity, resulting in high-fidelity artificial vision... Our interdisciplinary team is developing a novel, high-fidelity artificial retina to restore vision to people blinded by retinal degeneration... A leader in the biomedical revolution, Stanford Medicine has a long tradition of leadership in pioneering research, creative teaching protocols and effective clinical therapies.
