Due to progress in miniaturizing complex electronic systems the development of intraocular sensors and stimulators is feasible. The Retina Implant will restore vision in patients with progressive retinal degenerations by means of electrical stimulation of retinal neurons, e.g. in Retinitis pigmentosa. After severe destructions of the anterior segment with intact retina, e.g. after explosion trauma an intraocular display will restore vision. In glaucoma patients the implantation of a telemetric pressure sensor will help to optimise the management of each individual patient. Pressure profiles under everyday conditions will become available. These active implants will open new perspectives in treatment and diagnostics in ophthalmology.
由于复杂电子系统小型化方面的进展，眼内传感器和刺激器的开发是可行的。视网膜植入物将通过电刺激视网膜神经元，例如在色素性视网膜炎患者中，恢复进行性视网膜变性患者的视力。在前段严重受损而视网膜完好的情况下，例如爆炸伤后，眼内显示器将恢复视力。在青光眼患者中，植入遥测压力传感器将有助于优化对每个患者的管理。日常条件下的压力曲线将变得可用。这些有源植入物将为眼科治疗和诊断开辟新的前景。
