University of Southern California’s Doheny Eye Institute is using RF signals to transmit both data and power to the retinal implant.
Stanford University is using ambient light entering the eye for both data and power.
For 2 years a 60-pixel retina has been used in clinical trials known as the Argus II.

Stanford Ophthalmology department recently discovered migration of retinal cells.
Sub-retinal implant preserves axonal connections to the retina above the implant.

University of Southern California’s Biomimetric MicroElectronic Systems Engineering Research Center boasts a 1000-pixel test system.
Expecting nearly 5 years before clinical trials
More progressively they want to fit everything entirely into the eye.

Entirely implantable device Miniature camera system Use light we already see with to power and
give detail to newer more effective systems. Use carbon nanotubes for designs Increase safety for long term implants Drastically decrease need to power circuit
