    Chronic electrical stimulation with a peripheral suprachoroidal retinal implant: a preclinical safety study of neuroprotective stimulation.
    (Frontiers, 2024-06-20) Abbott, Carla J; Allen, Penelope J; Williams, Chris E; Williams, Richard A; Epp, Stephanie B; Burns, Owen; Thomas, Ross; Harrison, Mark; Thien, Patrick C; Saunders, Alexia; McGowan, Ceara; Sloan, Caitlin; Luu, Chi D; Nayagam, David A X
    Extraocular electrical stimulation is known to provide neuroprotection for retinal cells in retinal and optic nerve diseases. Currently, the treatment approach requires patients to set up extraocular electrodes and stimulate potentially weekly due to the lack of an implantable stimulation device. Hence, a minimally-invasive implant was developed to provide chronic electrical stimulation to the retina, potentially improving patient compliance for long-term use. The aim of the present study was to determine the surgical and stimulation safety of this novel device designed for neuroprotective stimulation.
