Abstract
Artificial retina or, in general, artificial vision, is a prosthesis device to regain vision for the blind. The similar sensory prosthesis device is an artificial cochlea, which has been successfully developed and widely used in many deaf patients in the worldwide to regain sound. Now in the world, a number of research and development on artificial reina [17] are progressing and commercial products will be produced commercially in the near future.
