MACULAR DEGENERATION

by Gerald Huth on August 24, 2010

Technology exists to fabricate a precise silicon replica of the imaging area of the retina (concentric rings from the fovea to 20 degrees of retinal eccentricity) that would mirror the spatial distribution of light detecting sites defined by this work. I  believe that such a passive chip, surgically implanted in contact with the plane of receptor outer segments could reverse crucial spatial degradation of these segments consequently aiding in reversing the course of the condition of macular degeneration.

I solicit collaboration with any of the numerous groups engaged in development of artificial retina prostheses.
