MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641074797 A) filed by Dr Katikala Hima Bindu; Dr Gajula Ramana Murthy; Dr Telagathoti Pitchaiah; and Dr Shaik Sadulla on June 17, 2026, for An Epiretinal Microelectronic Implantable Device, System And Method For Vision Restoration.
Inventors include Dr Katikala Hima Bindu; Dr Gajula Ramana Murthy; Dr Telagathoti Pitchaiah; and Dr Shaik Sadulla.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an epiretinal microelectronic implantable device, system and method for vision restoration. The Epiretinal Vision Restoration System comprising (i) an external unit comprises of glasses-mounted camera and processing unit and (ii) an implantable electronics case comprising highly integrated chip with electrode array preferably twenty platinum (Pt) electrodes arranged in a five-by-four (5×4) geometric configuration.The said chip is implanted on or near the eyeball, with the Electrode Array surgically attached to the retina. The system further comprises of high integrated signal processing module, wherein multiple components such as image sensor, analog conditioning, ADC, SRAM, and RF transceiver are fabricated onto a single CMOS substrate, which simplifies the implant, improving reliability and reducing surgical volume. Furthermore, the novel chip architecture provides a complete, low-power, and compact solution for converting external visual information into the necessary electrical language to stimulate the optic nerve via a retinal electrode array.
