Retinal implant, artwork
Retinal implant. Computer artwork of a biomedical chip (square, centre right) implanted just under the surface of the retina in a human eye. The retina is a light sensitive area inside the inner layer at the back of the eye. In a healthy eye it receives visual stimuli and transmits them to the optic nerve (centre right). Retinal implants are being developed so that they may one day be able to provide a usable form of sight to people suffering from degenerative retinal diseases. The chips are designed to receive signals from an external digital camera and transmit them as if they were coming from the eye itself

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the incredible potential of retinal implants in restoring sight to individuals suffering from degenerative retinal diseases. The computer-generated image depicts a biomedical chip, square in shape and positioned just under the surface of the retina within a human eye. Located at the back of the eye, the retina is responsible for receiving visual stimuli and transmitting them to the optic nerve. The innovative retinal implant featured here is designed to receive signals from an external digital camera, effectively mimicking natural vision. By capturing visual information and transmitting it as if originating from the eye itself, these chips hold promise for providing a usable form of sight to those affected by debilitating conditions that cause blindness. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this artwork represents not only cutting-edge technology but also hope for millions around the world who long for restored vision. As we delve further into the 21st century, advancements in bioengineering and bionics continue to push boundaries in ophthalmology and medical science as a whole. While this particular piece does not mention commercial use or any specific company involved, it serves as a powerful reminder of how art can beautifully merge with scientific innovation. Through collaborations between artists and scientists like this one captured by Science Photo Library, we gain deeper insights into groundbreaking technologies that have transformative potential for humanity's well-being.
