Abstract

Inherited retinal disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa can cause severe visual impairment in young working age population. Artificial vision using retinal prosthesis tries to create a useful form of vision bypassing the diseased retinal tissue. Different types of retinal prosthesis are available depending on the user interface, light-detection method, signal processing, and microelectrode array placement within the retina. The three main locations for microelectrode array placement are the epiretinal, subretinal, and supra-choroidal space. Currently, Argus 2 is the only retinal prosthesis that is FDA approved. This chapter outlines our pearls for surgical implantation of the Argus II retinal prosthesis system.
