3. How eyes work?
The light coming from an object enters the
eye through cornea and pupil. The eye
lens converges these light rays to form a
real, inverted and diminished image on the
retina. The light sensitive cells of the
retina gets activated with the incidence of
light and generate electric signals. These
electric signals are sent to the brain by the
optic nerves and the brain interprets the
electrical signals in such away that we see
an image which is erect and of the same
size as the object.

BRAINS THAN WITH OUR EYESโ
THE SOLE PRINCIPLE USED TO VISIONISE A BLIND IS
โDECEIVING OUR BRAINSโ

7. โข Form of neural prosthesis to
restore vision.
โข An externally worn camera and a
retinal implanted chip makes it
possible.
โข It is often usable for those who
suffers from age-related macular
degeneration (AMD) or retinal
pigmentosa.

9. Digital Camera
โข The camera used for
this is the CMOS image
sensor.
โข The camera captures
the image and converts
it into pixels of black and
white.
โข This camera is placed
on the goggles.
โข The battery required for
this is provided from the
video processing unit.

10. Video Processing Unit
โข Video Processing Unit acts as a
optogenic transducer unit which
simplifies the image as spots of
light and then reduces the image
to the number of photodiodes.
โข This is connected to goggles
through router.
โข This unit majorly consists of
โข Video decoder
โข Video scaler
โข DSP processor
โข Video processor

11. Retinal implant
โข Electrode implantation is one
of the most critical jobs in this
artificial vision system
โข The first step done in this
electrode implantation is
perforating a platinum foil with
each hole having a diameter of
3mm
โข 68 flat platinum electrodes of
1mm diameter are pierced
through the holes into the
nucleus of neurons of the
occipital lobe

12. Continuedโฆโฆ.
โข Each electrode is connected by separate Teflon
insulated wire to a connector contained in the
pedestal
โข The group of wires pass the electrical impulses
which are generated by the processor
โข When the electrode is stimulated by the processor
by sending an electrical impulse, the electrode
produces closely spaced phosphene (light spots
seen by visual field)
โข By sending the electrical impulses in different
combinations and permutations the phosphene can
be created in a regular fashion describing the image

13. Camera on glasses views image
Signals are sent to video
processing microchip
Processed information is sent
back to receiver
Receiver sends information to
electrodes in retinal implant
Electrodes stimulate retina to
send information to brain

read large letters or identify the objects
before him.

16. Normal vision-
Begins when light
enters and strike on
photoreceptor cells.
These cells convert
light to electric
impulses that are
sent to brain via
optic nerves.
Artificial vision-
The camera
captures images
and sends to retina
implant. It
stimulates neurons.
The stimulated
neurons send
information to brain
via optic nerves.

17. Surgery is required to implant the
electrode array.
Repairing is difficult if any of the
devices got damaged.
Those who lost their visions due to
other reasons could not use this
device.
The approximated cost of the
device is $70,000
