Several research groups in the world are trying to restore useful vision for the patients of degenerate retina, such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and age related macular degeneration (ARMD) with retinal prosthesis. Recently Korean consortium launched for developing retinal prosthesis and as part of Korean retinal prosthesis project we provide preliminary experimental results regarding voltage parameters for the stimulation of isolated retina. Voltage stimulus was delivered via one of the channel of microelectrode array (MEA) and ganglion cell activities were recorded with remained 59 channels. We changed the voltage amplitude from 0.5 V to 3 V, which showed that threshold level for reliable ganglion cell response was 1.5 V. The calculated threshold for charge densities was 2123 muC/cm2 and charge delivery was 15 nC/phase. When we changed the stimulus duration from 100 mus to 1200 mus with fixed voltage of 2 V, the threshold level was 300 mus. The calculated charge densities and charge delivery were 1698 muC/cm2 and 12 nC/phase, respectively. Even after the block of on-bipolar cell with L-(1)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (APB), electrical stimulus evoked ganglion cell activities.

Visual neuroscience benefits from high-quality datasets with neuronal responses to many images. Several neuroimaging datasets have been published in recent years, but no comparable dataset with spiking activity exists. Here, we introduce the THINGS ventral stream spiking dataset (TVSD).

Background: Refractory corneal edema is the foremost reason for endothelial corneal transplantation (EK) in the world. Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) offer good clinical outcomes. However, human donor tissue is limited in availability and has a complex logistical chain.

Development of cortical visual prostheses requires optimization of evoked responses to electrical stimulation to reduce charge requirements and improve safety, efficiency, and efficacy. One promising approach is timing stimulation to the local field potential (LFP), where action potentials have been found to occur preferentially at specific phases. To assess the relationship between electrical stimulation and the phase of the LFP, we recorded action potentials from primary (V1) and secondary (V2) visual cortex in marmosets while delivering single-pulse electrical microstimulation at different phases of the local field potential.

Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 403 eyes with TICL implantation, enrolled between January 2021 and December 2022, that were divided into two groups based on the minimum intended angle off the horizontal axis: horizontal with 263 eyes at an angle ±22.5 degrees or less and oblique with 140 eyes at a minimum intended angle of greater than ±22.
Purpose: To observe and explore the correlation between visual outcomes and intraocular lens (IOL) stability after tri-focal IOL implantation in eyes with high myopia.
Methods: Patients with highly myopic cataract (axial length > 26 mm) were enrolled in this prospective study. Thirty-one eyes (31 patients) received implantation of a trifocal IOL (AcrySof IQ PanOptix TFNT00).
