Article Synopsis
- The supplementary data relates to a study on a novel suprachoroidal visual prosthesis implanted in sheep, assessing surgical safety, device stability, and biocompatibility.
- Nine sheep underwent surgery with an electrically inactive retinal stimulator, monitored for up to 100 days through various imaging techniques.
- The collected data, including images and histological analysis, serves as a reference for future research, particularly concerning active retinal stimulators and the suitability of Dorper sheep as research models.
Severe visual impairment can result from retinal degenerative diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, which lead to photoreceptor cell death. These pathologies result in extensive neural and glial remodelling, with survival of excitable retinal neurons that can be electrically stimulated to elicit visual percepts and restore a form of useful vision. The Phoenix Bionic Eye is a fully implantable visual prosthesis, designed to stimulate the retina from the suprachoroidal space.
