Artificial retina is a kind of bionic eye and are grafted electronic devices made to stimulate sensation of sight in the eyes of person with notable retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration age related disease, in which the optic nerve and visual cortex are not damaged In the usual and unaffected eye, photoreceptors situated within the outer layers of the retina consist light-sensitive pigment that activate the phototransduction cascade to create neuronal signals in the occurrence of light stimuli. These signals are flown to and treated by a complicated network of neurons in the middle layers of the retina prior entering into the retinal ganglion cells in the inner layers. Axonal processes from Retinal Ganglion Cells eventually create the optic nerve to transfer the light-induced neuronal impulse to the visual cortex. In CRD such as retinitis pigmentosa, the outer covering or part of the retina in which photoreceptors reside are usually lost, hence leading to loss in vision. Anyhow, inner retinal layers comprise Retina Ganglion Cells that are partially secure in theory.

According to Coherent Market Insights the Artificial Retina Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028.

Later, restoration of sight may be gained by designing devices, retinal prostheses which accept and broadcast incoming light and then transfer the data in the form of electrical signals to the residual inner retinal layers for better working of the vision. Though visual prostheses may possibly be grown for any amount of the visual way consisting the visual cortex, the retina is known to be the comfortable target for curing outer retinal disorder owing to its easy usage and partially intact GNA and processing units. Models for retinal prostheses are usually classified depending upon the placement of the device in the eye to and the way electrical impulses are delivered by the device to RGCs. Many instruments are fixed either epiretinally, on the retina surface and attached the RGC layer, or subretinally, exterior of the attached retina or in place of the leftovers of the retinal pigmented epithelial and photoreceptor layers. There is a growth rate in the usage of artificial retina due to the visually impaired cases and increasing R&D. As per World Health Organization Prevention of Blindness and Deafness Programme, around 12 million Americans suffer from visual impairments.
