Abstract

Recent clinical studies indicate that stimulation of the retina with tiny amounts of current can have a therapeutic effect on retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa. We have therefore developed a preventive treatment system which stimulates the eye with a thread electrode; among other objectives, the aim is that even blind patients can administer the therapy themselves under physician's supervision.

Keywords: electrical stimulation; microstimulation; retina; therapy
