Contrast Sensitivity With a Subretinal Prosthesis and Implications for Efficient Delivery of Visual Information.
Published in Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
To evaluate the contrast sensitivity of a degenerate retina stimulated by a photovoltaic subretinal prosthesis, and assess the impact of low contrast sensitivity on transmission of visual information. We measure ex vivo the full-field contrast sensitivity of healthy rat retina stimulated with white light, and the contrast sensitivity of degenerate ...
