A soft multi-electrode electroretinography system for diagnosing and studying ocular diseases

Caption

Electrical potentials measured on the retina hold important information that can help diagnose diseases of the eye, including glaucoma and retinitis pigmentosa, early on. In this study, researchers developed a multi-electrode system built on top of commercial disposable contact lenses for making such measurements conveniently.
