Historically, the earliest reports of artificially induced phosphenes were associated with direct cortical stimulation Tong (2003). Since then devices have been developed that target uany different sites along the visual pathway Troyk (2003).These devices can be categorized according to the site of action along the visual pathway into cortical, sub-cortical, optic nerve ane retinal prostheses. Although the earliest reports involved cortical stimulation, with the advancements in surgical techniques and bioengineering, the retinal prosthesis or artificial retina has become the most advanced visual prosthesis Wyatt (2011).
