Retinal Implants Market Scope
Retinal prostheses, also known as bionic eyes, are electronic implants intended to generate visual perception in individuals with retinal conditions like retinitis pigmentosa or age-related macular degeneration. These devices are designed to stimulate vision sensations directly in the eyes, targeting cases where the optic nerve and visual cortex remain unimpaired. Several private companies and research institutions are developed retinal implants, with three types undergoing clinical trials: epiretinal (placed on the retina), subretinal (positioned behind the retina), and suprachoroidal (located between the choroid and the sclera). These implants function by electrically stimulating the remaining retinal neurons, allowing visual information to be introduced into the retina. However, the resolution of the perceived images generated by these implants has been relatively low thus far, making them more suitable for tasks such as perceiving light and recognizing basic objects. The demand for the retinal implant market is growing by the technological advancements, the increasing geriatric population, and rising eye diseases.
