Trans-retinal flexible circuit electrode array

摘要

The present invention provides an implantable device to affect an eye. The eye has a retina, a sclera, and a vitreous cavity. The implantable device comprises a retinal implant that is suitable to be positioned subretinally. The retinal implant comprising at least one electrode connected with a stimulating source and at least one connection with said stimulating source and with said at least one electrode. The connection is suitable to pass transretinally into the vitreous cavity of the eye and is suitably designed to pass through the sclera at a point where there is no retina. The stimulating source is suitable to be located outside the sclera.
