The Intelligent Retinal Implant System

The Intelligent Retinal Implant System TM is an adaptive visual prosthesis – an "artificial retina" – that bridges and replaces the defective information processing function of the real retina in patients with retinal degeneration. It thus may enable blind people to regain modest visual perception and a sense of orientation even in unfamiliar surroundings.
The Retinal Implant is expected to improve the quality of life of this group of patients significantly and permanently.

The learning Retinal Implant is still being studied in clinical trials and is not yet available commercially.
