ABSTRACT
Vision is one of the most important human sensations about the surrounding world. Visual deprivation not only markedly affects the life of blind people, but also gives a heavy burden to their family and the society. A visual prosthesis is an electronic device that helps the blinds to regain visual perception by directly stimulating the visual pathway using the microelectrodes implanted into the body. In recent years, visual prostheses have been developed rapidly and some devices have already become clinically available. In this paper, we reviewed the history of visual prosthesis, introduced different visual prostheses classified according to the location of the implanted stimulating electrodes. Clinical study results as well as the functional status of the currently available visual prosthesis devices were also summarized.
