Video-camera epiretinal prosthesis system visual processing unit
Definition
A battery-powered, body-worn component of a video-camera epiretinal prosthesis system designed to convert video images captured by the system spectacles camera into electrical stimulation commands, which are relayed to the system implant via the spectacles. It is connected to the spectacles by a cable. It also typically collects data on the system function, which can be monitored by a clinician during treatment.
