Summary
The authors present the knowledge summarization of vision substitute using artificial retinal neuroprostheses. The overview was compiled from available literature found in the Medline and Embase databases. The text focuses on global summarizing of the whole issue since the beginning of the development to the state up to date. In individual types of neuroprostheses, the advantages, disadvantages, and possible obstacles to their use in clinical practice are discussed. Furthermore, the brain plasticity and functional changes of the brain in blinds are considered. The aim of the review is not to present all information in detail, but complex overview with relevant literature sources.
Key words:
artificial vision, retinal neuroprostheses, blindness, retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration
