Article Synopsis
- Retinal degenerative diseases are a major cause of blindness with no current treatments, but retinal prostheses aim to restore vision by activating remaining retinal cells.
- A new photoacoustic retinal stimulation technology was developed using a flexible film that converts near-infrared laser pulses into localized acoustic waves, effectively targeting retinal cells with high precision.
- Testing showed that this method can activate retinal ganglion cells in both normal and degenerated retinae, and the film was safe for use in living rats, suggesting its potential for restoring vision in blind patients with high spatial accuracy.
