Low Power Electronic Ocular Implant with Multiple Imaging Systems
Summary
USPTO published patent application US20260090912A1 for a low-power electronic ocular implant with multiple imaging systems. The device includes imaging systems to receive incoming light and projection systems that simultaneously project different images to different retinal regions at varying resolutions to minimize power consumption. Inventors: Wayne H. Woods Jr., Alexander J. Melville, Christopher Shelby. Application No. 19341757.
What changed
The USPTO published a patent application for an electronic ocular device designed to be implanted in an eye. The device features multiple imaging systems that receive incoming light and multiple projection systems that simultaneously project different images onto different retinal regions at varying resolutions based on the eye's natural resolution distribution. This power optimization approach allows different projection systems to operate at different resolutions depending on the specific retinal region.
Patent applications do not create immediate compliance obligations for regulated entities. Medical device manufacturers and healthcare providers researching visual prosthesis technology should review this application for potential competitive implications or partnership opportunities. No filing deadlines or regulatory responses are required from external parties.

Abstract
An electronic ocular device is configured to be implanted in an eye and includes: multiple imaging systems configured to receive incoming light at the eye; and multiple projection systems configured to simultaneously project multiple different images onto multiple different regions of a retina of the eye based on the incoming light received by the imaging systems. Power used by the electronic ocular device is minimized by operating different ones of the projection systems at different resolutions based on different eye resolution at different regions of the retina.
