This thesis presented the mechanical and brief optical design of a photonic retinal prosthesis. The mechanical design utilized SolidWorks to develop a headset for use as a retinal prosthetic for individuals with retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic disorder characterized by loss of photoreceptors and pigment deposits on the retina. Hardware component selection was completed and a brief optical calculation was done to determine how the hardware would be controlled to relay an image on the retina using gold nanorods and near infrared stimulation.retinal prostheticsgold nanorodnear infrared stimulationEnglishRPB2020072010.26300/41nd-6b75In CopyrightCollection is open for research.
