World Congress on Artificial
Vision
The Eye & The Chip 2006 meeting
took place in Detroit. Artificial retinal
chip implants were discussed. Harvard Medical
School -- International ophthalmologists and
researchers met in Detroit in June '06 to discuss
the future of artificial
retina implants that are
being developed in over one hundred research
facilities around the world.
Over 30 investigators and clinicians from 9
countries and 26 programs came together with
the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology to present
their work and findings with visual neuro-prosthetic
devices. They discussed topics in the areas of:
microelectronics, transretinal stimulators, the
Korean Artificial Retina Project, Visual Prosthesis,
Visual Outcomes in Retinal Prosthetic Clinical
Trials, Epiretinal Stimulation of Ganglion Cells,
Retinal Responses to Electrical Stimulation and
more. MaculaCenter.com will continue to follow the
exciting research of artificial vision and we will
post our findings as this important news develops.

NOTE: Dr. Deupree does not perform
artificial retina implants. These procedures
are still being researched and are under careful
study. Artificial
