Artificial Liquid Retinal Prosthesis: Already on the second generation of artificial retinas, this one is biomimetic:
Compared to other existing approaches, the new liquid nature of the prosthesis ensures fast and less traumatic surgery that consists of microinjections of nanoparticles directly under the retina, where they remain trapped and replace the degenerated photoreceptors; this method also ensures increased effectiveness.
