    摘要: An external device (20) includes a mount (22), which is placed in front of a subject's eye. A laser (24) is coupled to the mount (22) and emits radiation (26) that is outside of 380-750 nm. A partially-transparent mirror (23) is coupled to the mount (22). An intraocular device (30) is implanted entirely in the subject's eye, and includes a plurality of stimulating electrodes (38), and an energy receiver (32), which receives the radiation (26) from the laser (24) and generates a voltage drop. A plurality of photosensors (34) detect photons (33) and generate a signal. Driving circuitry (36) is coupled to the energy receiver (32) and to the photosensors (34), and receives the signals from the photosensors (34) and utilizes the voltage drop to drive the electrodes (38) to apply currents to the retina in response to the signals from the photosensors (34). Other embodiments are also described.

    摘要: Apparatus for use with an external non-visible light source (24) is provided. The apparatus includes an intraocular device (60) configured for implantation in a human eye, and including an energy receiver (32). The energy receiver (32) is configured to receive light emitted from the external non-visible light source (24), and extract energy from the emitted light for powering the intraocular device (60). The intraocular device (60) is configured to regulate a parameter of operation of the intraocular device (60) based on a modulation of the light emitted by the external non-visible light source (24) and received by the energy receiver (32). Other embodiments are also described.
