Innovative Optogenetic Strategies for Vision Restoration [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 The advent of optogenetics has ushered in a new era in neuroscience where spatiotemporal control of neurons is possible through light application. These tools used to study neural circuits can also be used therapeutically to restore vision.

Retinal Prostheses: Engineering and Clinical Perspectives for Vision Restoration
Sensors, 2023 A retinal prosthesis, also known as a bionic eye, is a device that can be implanted to partially restore vision in patients with retinal diseases that have resulted in the loss of photoreceptors (e.g., age-related macular degeneration and retinitis ...
