Abstract

A number of research groups are developing electrical implants that can be attached directly to the retina in an attempt to restore vision to patients suffering from retinal degeneration. However, despite promising results in animal experiments, there are still several major obstacles to overcome before retinal prostheses can be used clinically.

摘要

一些研究小组正在研发可直接附着在视网膜上的电子植入物，试图恢复视网膜变性患者的视力。然而，尽管在动物实验中取得了令人鼓舞的结果，但在视网膜假体能够临床应用之前，仍有几个主要障碍需要克服。
