Assessment of Postoperative Morphologic Retinal Changes by Optical Coherence Tomography in Recipients of an Electronic Retinal Prosthesis Implant

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography may be used to observe the retinal anatomic changes in patients with an Argus II Prothesis. This analysis revealed the development of a fibrosislike hyperreflective tissue limited at the interface between array and retina that progressed to retinal schisis but with no deterioration in the patients' visual performance.
