Abstract

Outer retinal degeneration diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration, are the main eye diseases that cause blindness. Although the molecular genetics of retinitis pigmentosa has made great progress in recent years, no obvious breakthrough has been made in the treatment. The use of retinal pigment epithelial cell transplantation, or the transplantation of retinal slices including photoreceptors, has major problems in case selection, immune rejection, efficacy and safety. If a certain method is adopted to generate the perception of light and the corresponding electric current or release neurotransmitters, the inner retina, i.e., the inner nuclear layer and ganglion cells are activated, and nerve impulses are generated and transmitted to the visual cortex. Vision, this device that can activate the inner retina is called an artificial retina (retinal prosthesis). Activation of the inner retina by means of retinal prosthesis (artificial retina) will be a promising approach for treatment of outer retina degenerative diseases. Great efforts have been paid to evolve special new devices in recent years.
