Understanding the Bionic Eye and Retinal Prostheses

Описание: This video is a recording of our View Point webinar from September 10, 2025.

Join us for an engaging and informative webinar focused on retinal prosthetics—often referred to as “bionic eyes”—an exciting area of research aimed at restoring vision for individuals affected by severe retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration.

Featured Speaker:

Dr. Daniel Palanker is a Professor of Ophthalmology and Electrical Engineering at Stanford. His research focuses on the development of optical and electronic technologies for diagnostics, surgery, and prosthetics in ophthalmology. His work includes the photovoltaic retinal prosthesis (PRIMA), currently in clinical trials, and several technologies now in global clinical use.

Whether you're curious about the future of vision restoration or want to better understand emerging treatment options, this session offers a look into a rapidly evolving field.

Includes a live Q&A session.
