Pupilloplasty

The pupil is the aperture through which light passes into the eye and is created by the circular ring of thin muscles known as the iris.  These images are from a pupilloplasty made with a 10.0 proline suture.  Pupilloplasties are designed to reconstruct the shape of the pupil, typically after traumatic damage or other surgical procedures that alter the pupils shape.  A damaged or non-functional pupil due to trauma can result in substantial visual glare and inability to properly adjust the amount of light entering the patients eye, so surgical repair is of substantial benefit.

Photovoltaic Retinal Prosthesis With High Pixel Density

Retinas are complex systems and engineered rescues of vision loss through bionic means have to date been inelegant solutions.  Retinal bionic implants have historically not been successes due to some glaring problems including how to power them and how to get the appropriate current close enough to the cells to induce a response.  However, researchers at Stanford University and University of California, Santa Cruz have now developed a photovoltaic retinal prosthesis that is wirelessly powered which eliminates one of the biggest hurdles on the viability of bionic Continued…
