Abstract
These paper proposes a new Encapsulated Artificial Prosthesis Vision System (EAPVS) that will provide visual sensation to patients suffering from retina degeneration ilIness. A new biocompatible encapsulated prostbeses containing a hole Artificial Vision System (AVS) inctuding all components required to build a complete artificial eye is presented. The optical tens system and the hole microelectronic light sensors, coders and decoders circuits required to generate the electrical stimulus to the optic nervous to regenerate the human visuai functionality are located inside a polymethyl metcrylate (F´MMA) globe prostheses case inside the eye ball.
