INTRODUCTION
Acts as an artificial eye Broad term for the entire electronics system Harmless to human body commercially viable Rods and cones

BIONIC EYE
Bio-electronic eye Electronic device which replaces
functionality of a part or whole of the eye Used for replacing functionality (or)adding functionality to the eye Complex combination of multiple devices

Diseases: Retinitis Pigmentosa

Hereditary Genetic Disease Peripheral Rods degenerate Gradually progresses towards center of eye Tunnel vision results

NORMAL EYE

DEFECTIVE EYE

Macular Degeneration
Genetically Related Cones in Macula region degenrate Loss or damage of central vision Peripheral Retina spared Common among old people

NORMAL EYE

DEFECTIVE EYE

MIT-Harvard device
Features
Epi-Retinal Approach Microelectrode array replaces damaged photoreceptors Power source Laser(820nm wavelength) Image Acquisition - Using CCD Camera Patient spectacle holds the camera and power source There are two systems

The Whole Picture

Artificial Retina Prosthesis using ASR (Artificial Silicon Retina)

APPROACHES:
Epiretinal Approach Subretinal Approach

Enhancement of the image quality using the ASR

MULTIPLE UNIT ARTIFICIAL RETINA CHIPSET (MARC) Block Diagram Of Image Acquisition System

MARC Hermetic Sealing And Positioning

Conclusion
Looked to improve people's lives with artificial, bionic devices. Developed to do more than replacing defective parts. Researchers are also using them to fight illnesses. Two great challenges for biomedical engineering. Help blind lead an independent life
