Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
All over the world about 10 million people suffer from blindness caused by an opaque, irreversible damaged and inoperable cornea. Many of these people still have intact retinal functions. After Prof. Heimann of the University of Köln miniaturized and implantable displays might help such people to restore partially their vision. Optical and physiological constraints of such vision aids are discussed. |
