Abstract:
Cochlear implants are one of the most successful brain-machine interface systems, and about one million hearing-impaired people have had their hearing restored by cochlear implants. In Japan, we have developed our original retinal implant (RI) system and successfully completed a pilot clinical trial, and are currently preparing for a pivotal clinical trial with NIDEK Co. However, the first runner of the RI, Argus II, which was implanted in more than 300 blind patients and showed some recovery of vision, has recently been discontinued. One reason for this was insufficient patient satisfaction. In this seminar, we will introduce the quality of vision restoration with RI, including our system, and consider how to improve patient satisfaction in the next generation of RI.
