Retinal prosthetics has shown its promise in restoring vision, despite limited acuity. Here, the authors demonstrate a high-resolution prosthetic vision that enables grating acuity matching the natural visual resolution in rats, paving the way to higher acuity of prosthetic vision in atrophic macular degeneration.
