Abstract
A surgically implanted ocular optical array that can be used in both therapeutic and diagnostic applications is described. A device configured to be implanted in an eye includes: an imaging system that receives visible light incoming to the eye; optical source generating circuitry that generates an optical signal based on the light received by the imaging system; and an optical array that generates and projects an image onto a retina of the eye in which the device is implanted, the image being based on the optical signal generated by the optical source generating circuitry.
