Retinal Implant Providing Integrated Vision and Information About Conjunctivitis and Dry Eye

Dr. Daniel Palanker (Stanford University - Palo Alto, CA)

Dr. Anat Galor (University of Miami Bascom Palmer Eye Institute - Miami, FL)

Dr. Daniel Palanker, professor of ophthalmology and electrical engineering at Stanford University, explains how a retinal implant using photovoltaic pixels in conjunction with augmented reality glasses can allow patients to integrate prosthetic central visual perception with remaining natural peripheral vision.

Then, Dr. Anat Galor, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Miami Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, discusses the causes and treatments of both conjunctivitis and dry eye, and a nasal spray that treats dry eye.
