Abstract

The concept of a visual prosthesis for the blind or partially sighted is not a new one. Indeed, for more than three decades this technology based treatment for blindness has appeared imminent. Despite the concerted efforts of numerous physicians, scientists and engineers, the successful application of a useful visual prosthesis remains elusive. The present review will endeavour to describe past efforts, investigate the present state of the art and indicate the obstacles that must be overcome in order to bring an electronic visual prosthesis to fruition.

摘要

为盲人和部分视力受损者设计视觉假体的概念并不新鲜。事实上，三十多年来，这种基于技术的失明治疗方法似乎即将实现。尽管众多医生、科学家和工程师共同努力，但实用视觉假体的成功应用仍然难以实现。本综述将努力描述过去的努力，研究当前的技术水平，并指出为使电子视觉假体得以实现必须克服的障碍。
