| Abstract |
To restore vision in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, several types of electronic devices have been developed to stimulate neurons at different levels along the visual pathway. Subretinal stimulation of the retina with the Retina Implant Alpha IMS (Retina Implant AG, Reutlingen, Germany) has been demonstrated to provide useful vision in daily life. Here we evaluated the safety of this device. |
